ghost-angel Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER It's a well known fact that the Camden, NJ Project yielded nothing of use to scientists at the time. Afterwards it would be looked upon as the most well run office with regards to the acquisition and dispersion of office supplies during WWII.

Cancer Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Heh. Stray datum from the Army's own history volume about it: at its peak of operations, the Manhattan Engineering District employed over 100,000 people, which was comparable to the total employment in the US auto industry at the time.

Bazza Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Never heard of those before.

lemming Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER And IIRC, the experiment was to make the cruiser invisible to magnetic mines. Or that's what they want us to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I'm sure it happens here. I'm also sure that there are a few people who take a few geese for the same reasons, especially since the birds sort of infest grassy areas of parks, golf courses, and college campuses near water.

You can hardly see the water this time of the year for all the fowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
