This is the actual transcript of a radio communication of a US naval ship
with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995:Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a
collision.Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees South to avoid a
collision.Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert
YOUR course.Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST
SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE
DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT
YOU
CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR
COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
Clint,
Actually this uis an Urban-legend. The story varies slightly in the telling
each time.

dear clint.
Its a joke. Try going to ....
http://www.snopes.com/humor/jokes/lighthse.htm
but this is said to be true
http://www.smh.com.au/news/0102/09/pageone/pageone1.html
http://www.geocities.com/osz/rob2/wanted.htm
I like stories like this ....
Warning: Important News To All Guys Who Go Out To
Clubs Or Bars:
Men need to be more alert and cautious when getting a
drink offer from a woman. There is a new drug that is
in liquid form. The drug is now being used by female
sex predators at parties and bars to induce male
victims to have sex with them. The shocking news is
that the drug is available virtually everywhere!
It goes by the street name, "beer."
All women have to do is buy a "beer" or two for almost
any guy and then simply ask the guy home for
no-strings-attached sex. Men are rendered literally
helpless against such tactics.
Please forward this to everyone you know immediately!
and this also brings a smile to me (but for different
reason)
http://www.cnn.com/2001/LAW/02/08/pardon.probe.03/
seems the rich person wife that clinton pardoned (and
who was facing 300 years in prison before he fled the
USA) has given 1 million US dollars to the democratic
party, and donated money to hillary's senate campaign.
Someone wondered if they were related ? I wondered why
not ask Clinton, instead of a black ex deputy.
thanks

hah hah you'd hardly expect the Navy to admit to it, would you? Then
they quote all these obscure literature references which no in hell is
going to be able to confirm (well maybe the readers digest but for
some). Then the mighty US navy sets up a web page to defunk the myth?
The facts are obvious, they did it and are now moving heaven on earth
to hide the fact!
I love conspiracy theories

Hey, if you were running Windows NT (Clint, quick go and check) this kind of whackyness can happen. Remember the Aegis Cruiser which got under way, blue-screened and died in the water. Luckily it was off the coast of Virginia.
Considering Windows, I bet that lighthouse was turning some good knots too.

I love conspiracy theories
then why do you freak out when I even hint i'm a ds in
g58 ? Just because I keep on asking what you free are
doing is no reason to get worried. (And I would prefer
any DS to continue to deny that I'm playing in this
game).
Actually
a) a light house is built on land (as they don't float
too well). I'm surprised the ship didn't pick up the
land on radar (maybe the light house was on an very,
very small piece of land in the middle of the sea).
b) carriers generally have a few planes flying around
(just in case they are needed to shoo off anything
they don't like). I'm surprised the planes didn't
notice the light house (maybe the carrier didn't have
planes).
c) the fleet must be a little bit lost if they didn't
realise they were in a area near a light house. See
note (a) where lighthouse = land, and land doesn't go
well with ships (maybe the commander was male ?).
d) light houses stand still. Things in the sea that
are still generally have a reason for not moving. That
might have given the commander a clue that something
isn't right.

p.s who is to say that people landed on the moon. I've
only seen photo's of the moon from the modern time
(when they goverment started lacing the water to calm
me down, and adding metal strips in the notes to
follow my movements). If the moon was really there
(and not faked), then why don't we have photographs
from ancient china or people like that ???
I've also seen Capricorn One, and that must be true
since OJ was in it.

Stags,
If that is the case, you should read Jack & Jill by James Patterson.
It is a great conspiracy theory novel that pokes at the American
political system...
