"What the fork ever, dude."

TIL that the decks of the Yamato battleship class were made out of Japanese cypress which has a light pink coloring to it. Most powerful battleships ever built with pink decks.

Yup, most ships had a teak deck over the armor because armor is slippery when wet

Not to get too deep, but TIL that there is another Revelations written by Peter, in which among other things, God tells him that eventually God will even bring everyone sent to hell into heaven, but God also tells Peter not to tell anyone that, because he thought it would make the sinners sin even more. This writing has been excluded from the bible and is one of many books that were arbitrarily left out. I started on a rabbit hole read of the Council of Nicea, which lead me into a lot of areas.
