USS New New York
The Legend
Submitted May 2006
The picture below is a computer-generated artist's rendering of the new battleship the U.S.S. New New York which is going to be built using World Trade Center steel.
Even though it isn't going to be afloat for nearly a year it has already sailed (figuratively) into the (also figurative) record books. The ship will be built from 24 tons of metal that was steel from the World Trade Center and is the fifth in a new series of military projects that are being built out of recycled materials. The other four are a super tank formed from thousands of miles of used Internet tubes, a new spy satellite base made from unidentified alloys from the alien space ship that crashed at Area 51, an order of fifteen million Pentagon memo pads made from recycled documents that would have otherwise led to Bush's impeachment, and Hillary Clinton.
What's the ship's motto? I forget, but I'm sure it's a great one!
Behind the Legend
This news item is largely true, although some details stray from pure fact. Notably:
- The artist who created the image of the boat was not computer generated.
- The metal used in the creation of the ship was not stolen, nor was it "a steal".
- Hillary Clinton is not a military project (at least, not technically).
All information on this site is, to the best of our knowledge, false.
