Please don’t come up with Napper now, that one would really be boring.

Morskoi: Naval (Sea-)
Palyubnyi: as Flex explained, Deck- or Deck-based.

A bit of a pleonasm really, and not an existing suffix.

Well, i didn’t really expect them to. I only learned about that bridge and Lake Havasu because of Falling Down (i always remember trivia like that, it’s terrible), and since i thought it to be a totally stupid story i looked a bit further.

So it’s more of a relaxed day-off resort than anything else?

They don’t know because they don’t care. They obviously put it in one of the most important ‘cities’ in the U.S., Lake Havasu, AZ. Huh? Anybody know where that is?

From http://www.roadtripamerica.com/places/havasu.htm :

“Hundreds of thousands of people come here every year to see the bridge,” said Sue Barone of the Lake Havasu Chamber of Commerce.

But i think the city’s best known for it being mentioned in the film Falling Down, as the place where inspector Pendergast was to retire to.

Nobody in America gives 2 $hits about the London Bridge.

Except for the founding fathers of Laka Havasu City of course, who paid US$ 2,460,000 for it. That makes US$ 1,230,000 per $hit, which is a decent price i think. I can give you a discount on mine though!

[What happened in March 1940 then? The butt fall off his lucky rifle?

Nah, peace broke out for a couple of weeks by March, and it lasted any longer it would have been the Winter And A Bit Of Spring Too War which is of course silly.

I think Simo then went on to Santa Claus’ sweatshops making toys, or started thinking of interesting new ways for Finns to be silent and non-communicative over long distances without a fixed telephone net.

Yep. There were more Finnish snipers during the Winter War with immense tallies, the Finns being far better prepared to wage a war on their turf despite the vast numerical superiority of the Soviets.

Russia’s most famous and highest-scoring sniper was of course Vasilly Zaitsev, who got over 400 confirmed Germans by the end of WW2.
