I've said it before: Transmetropolitan significantly overestimated the impact of Spider Jerusalem publishing the crooked politician's secrets. In reality the people who love him won't believe you and the people who don't love him don't need convincing.

* the moment you turn your back bugs creep in.
* now and then you can look at the results with pride.
* Next year you'll have to do it all again.

Aircraft carriers are basically just big boats so it stands to reason that they'll roll a bit when cornering, but you just don't imagine what it means when something the size of a small town does so.
