He also wasn't created to travel under the surface of the water for long periods, to fly through the air, or to travel along the ground at more than about 12 MPH.

The cost of setting up settlements in the "New World"? For the time they were also fantastically expensive. Better to have just stayed in Europe and never sailed West, just save the money.

Henri Charriere Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 @Conder101 ... Unfortunately, QA, the insignificant gnat is no match for the Mighty Conder and the OP who exposed him for the shameless "rag picker" he has never denied being shall pursue this off-topic matter elsewhere, if he has a sense of decorum, and a lick of common sense. Apologies to all. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
