... but what seaplane did it come from i wonder...?
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Ken has become very careful in specifying WW II aircraft in public. All we get these days is a murky "what seaplane I wonder"?

Being mistaken sometimes is fate/statistics, but cowardice and trepidation are the worms which devoureth a man's heart!!!
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

Just gone from a 6-figure bank balance to a 5 digit debt... I'd call that distracted... ;)
