In my memory is a story I heard on the Wainwright about an event that occurred before I got to the Wainwright. The ship was in the Med and went to General Quarters one day, something about a skirmish with Libya, something to do with the Line of Death incident. The story went that some of the guys in Missile Plot, where I worked, got down on their knees together and started praying. I remember saying something about how I was going to kick anybody's ass that did that when I was around.

1980 film "The Final Countdown" DVD video:


US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Dan, what's this all about? What do you make of it?

US Navy Commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: Nostalgia broadcasting on the Armed Forces band.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Broadcasting after a strike? Nah.

Warren Lasky - United States Department of Defense civilian contractor employee: Excuse me. Captain?

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Yes?

Warren Lasky - United States Department of Defense civilian contractor employee: Sir, is it possible that this could be part of some secret naval maneuver?

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Course not.

US Navy Commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: There are a few people who'd like to watch us work under pressure.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: What are you saying, Dan?

US Navy Commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: The Department of Defense sent him out here. Maybe they wanted to give him something to watch.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Now, that makes more sense than anything else so far.

Warren Lasky - United States Department of Defense civilian contractor employee: Now, wait a minute, gentlemen. You may be the victims of some kind of joke. But whether the Pentagon's behind it or the Kremlin or some little green men from Mars, I promise you, I'm as much in the dark about it as you are.

US Navy lieutenant Perry: Captain, we're getting something you might want to hear.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: In the Plot Room.

(Back on Roslin's ship - she and Apollo are up in the cockpit)

Radio: This is an official Colonial government broadcast. All ministers and officials should now go to Case Orange. Repeat: This is an official Colonial government broadcast. All ministers and officials should now go to Case Orange.

Roslin: It's an automated message. It's designed to be sent out in case the president, the vice president and most of the cabinet are dead or incapacitated. I need you to send my ID code back on the exact same frequency. D as in dog, dash 456 dash 345 dash A, as in apple. Thank you. (She leaves the cockpit. Apollo follows her back and finds her sitting alone.)

Apollo: How far down?

Roslin: 43rd in line of succession. I know all 42 ahead of me from the President down. Most of us served with him in the first administration. Some of them came with him from the Mayor's office. I was there with him on his first campaign. I never really liked politics; I kept telling myself I was getting out, but... he had this way about him. (The pilot appears with a piece of paper.) Just couldn't say no to him. (He hands her the paper.) Thank you. (She sits up, puts her jacket back on.) We'll need a priest.

Handedness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Handedness is a human attribute defined by unequal distribution of fine motor skills between the left and right hands. An individual who is more able with the right hand is called right-handed and one who is more skilled with the left is said to be left-handed.


Left-handedness is less common than right-handedness. Left-handed people are more dexterous with their left hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that approximately 10% of the world population is left-handed.
