Following last week’s satellite collision (prompting a new category), Ye Olde Wyrlde tried to catch up with us trendy, zippy space-faring nations.
A British nuclear submarine and a French one collided in the North Atlantic. There were no injuries, no trans-oceanic debris collides and no potential risk to other underwater things according to official reports.
In fact, the only aspect remotely related to the awesome satellite collision is that it occurred between two formally bitter rivals. The British and the French have fought several wars throughout history, including one that lasted at least one hundred years, but that war’s name escapes us.
(You want history? If it ain’t Nazis or Confederates, buy a library.)
Could this be the beginning of a new French and Indian War? The Iroquis Confederation has not returned our calls for comment.
