Interesting but pointless side note: During WWII, the P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter plane with an air cooled engine, was known as "The Jug". British pilot and support personnel thought the name was short for "Juggernaut" since it was a very robust and lethal aircraft. In reality, it was called "The Jug" because of the way the body of the airplane looked when it came off the assembly line and was stacked on its nose waiting for the next step in the manufacturing process, which of course, was like a milk jug. So, if you will, "The Jug" :) On Sun, Nov 03, 2002 at 12:00:11AM -0600, Kevin D.
