11:50 and the burgers are fried for lunch this week. I'm going to bed. Don't start any more fires on the board while I'm asleep. The one I started yesterday was enough for a while.

Not bad. I wasn't expecting a Fairbanks Morse powerplant, maybe they have a larger market share for high-horsepower marine engines than I expected. I truly did expect to see an ugly yellow engine when I clicked on the link, but I'm very happy that I didn't.there was a really good article that my parents found but I can't seem to find it on a search. Detailed the powerplant really well in all that engine jargon that I just nod and agree as if I know what it means![]()

I'll try seeing if they still have the link, but all I can tell you is that our 2 engines combine for ~17,000 ponies, and the ship is getting new engines this winter, supposed to be more efficient and less polluting.
edit: found it! here's basically a really well detailed description of everything (and, if you look at the pictures on the right hand row a little more than halfway down is a really neat size comparison aerial photo.):

Lighting your own farts doesn't count.

Dammit XKCD you've broken into my brain YET AGAIN!
I've had as many as TWENTY tabs open on that ****ed site.
(I was reading it and I thought to myself "Yup, that's about what I do with TVTropes..." then BAM.)
I have no clue what TVTropes is, but I've done the path-chains with wiki/imdb/etc following various trains of thought and common links for a couple hours before.![]()
