The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The German Kaiser-class dreadnought battleship SMS Prinzregent Luitpold being towed back to Rosyth, keel uppermost.

This is one of many German ships sunk by her crew in Scapa Flow in 1919 after the fleet had surrendered in November 1918.

Although they were scuttled to prevent Allied Forces from using the vessels, some were salvaged and used for scrap metal to manufacture British armaments.

I'd just give all my problems to Rosemary Woods

and she would erase them for me

Sorry, but this is much more impressive in my opinion.

Scale looks wrong.. The thing was “only” 110 ft tall. 10 stories… The scale around those illustrations makes it look 50% larger at least…
