Nor does mine--for some reason, I can't build an attractive sailing ship. I always
end up having to stuff a funnel on it somewhere.

Mine too. And your thingy would most likely sink them.

I'm going to try to hijack my mother's thousand-dollar sony digital camera for a
month between Thanksgiving and New Years'--in the hopes that it'll be a mighty
spate o' building for yours truly. I can dream! I also dream of getting my own
"cheapie," maybe under $200 with insanely low resolution (352x284 or somesuch).

_The Art of War_ makes that one of its central tenets--not the "manhandle the
horses" thing, but "don't hit them where they're strongest". Wheel out the long
carronades and circle 'em with sloops! Arrr...1588 all over again.
I can perhaps understand the horses--after all, there's only one pirate wench.
