The Queen Elizabeth II, travels only six inches for a gallon of diesel fuel.
A response from one of our visitors:
Your misc. facts page has an inaccuracy: The QEII does not travel 6 inches per gallon of fuel. She goes 52 ft according to http://www.mdtap.org/tt/1997.10/7-deenatravels.html and 50 ft according to http://www.frugalfun.com/cruisetoafrica.html and yet another site compares QE2 to Concorde and states 50 ft/gal or 380 tons per day http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m0FCP/5_24/98592901/p4/article.jhtml?term= .

I printed these out, Chad, and wandered around the office of the YMCA reading them outloud to anyone who would listen. Even members... got lots of really weird looks. It was great. Thanks for providing me with a good time...

carl was almost one of those 100 people to die from a ball point pen. he and i were driving down 24 a couple weeks ago and he was chewing on it when it fell down is throat.

haha

idiot.

you know what he does? he gets on the phone and starts calling different people to get their "opinions" on whether he should swallow it or cough it up. somehow it hadnt gone down far enough and he could still breath. he made me call dave and ask.

i doubt i will see something funnier than a man with a pen down his throat talking on the phone. he sounded like a wookie trying to speak english.

but thats carl for ya. getting other people's opinions or whether or not he should die or not.

good lord.

i laughed a lot that day.

(he finally coughed it up btw)
