Why Yes, this actually is the HMS Dreadnaught! Commissioned in 1906 It was the 6th British vessel to have the name. This vessel was the state of the art for its time and changed the course of history. Much the same as the Dreadnaught guitar pioneered by the Martin Company. The
dreadnaught guitar was large and powerful, able to leap tall buildings with a single bound and cut through the violin, banjo, and stand-up base to still be heard. The base was especially present in these inovative guitars.
In the new next series for guitars, a dreadnaught shape is emerging. Not a robotic carbon copy, of course, but a pleasant new shape that will be strong on the base response, but supprisingly full on the treble as well. More on this later.

Why do banks try to get rid of foreclosed houses so rapidly? Banks always are making long term investments, sometimes committed for many years. Keeping a foreclosed house for a relatively short period of time would let the house value rise through natural appreciation and the marketability improve. As always there is more to it than meets the eye.
On to something completely different, real estate brokers and agents are lazy, incompetent bastards[or bastardetts]. Perhaps none are worth anything at all, at least those I've personally had the displeasure to meet have not been worth anything at all. Work is opposite of a bad thing. Work should be enjoyed. Work is not something real estate sales people are involved in.
