I gave Miller a lecture once about putting periods in SOS, but I’ll do it again.
I have said this many times, there are no periods in SOS. SOS doesn’t stand for anything. It doesn’t mean “save our souls” or “save our ship” or any such rot. SOS is an international distress call and this may come as a surprise to you, but not everyone in the world speaks English. The first country to use SOS was Germany, but SOS doesn’t work in German, it would be RUS, the French would be sending SNN and the Italians would send SLNN, so much for an international distress call. My gosh, don’t those idiots know how to speak English? SOS was adopted long before there was voice radio communications at all, just radio telegraphy. SOS was adopted because of its simplicity in Morse code, 3 dots 3 dashes 3 dots. Check out the movie “A Night to Remember”, the Morse actually legitimate. Look up SOS in Wikipedia.
Apparently Hilburn doesn’t realize what generation invented computers and fiber optics. Computers are like s*x, each succeeding generation thinks they invented it.
The solar system (including the Earth) is circling the center of the galaxy at about half a million miles per hour, eight hundred thousand kilometers per hour.
A little boy dressed up as a pirate. He went to a house and the woman said, “Oh, a pirate, where are your buccaneers?” The little boy said, “Under my buccan hat.”
