The Swedish warship Vasa. It sank in 1628 less than a mile into its maiden voyage and was recovered from the sea floor after 333 years almost completely intact. It is now housed at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, it is the world's best preserved 17th century ship.
The vessel has come to symbolize Sweden's Great Power Period, when the nation became a major European power and controlled much of the Baltic.
Though not the largest or most heavily armed ship of its time, the 'Vasa' was formidable: The 226-foot, 64-cannon ship could fire a combined weight of more than 650 pounds of shot from one side.
It was designed by the experienced ship maker Henrik Hybertsson, and was initially expected to carry 36 guns aboard the deck. However, the King of Sweden demanded aesthetic perfection at the cost of the ship's stability. When she set sail on her maiden voyage from the castle fortress at Vaxholm on August 10, 1628, Vasa was laden with heavy ornamental decoration and 64 bronze canons.
But the maritime pride of Sweden never saw battle - it was too top-heavy, and it capsized and sank after sailing less than a nautical mile. The Vasa was recovered in 1961, almost entirely intact, and was raised from the ocean after 333 years at the bottom of the sea. It has been displayed in its own museum since 1990, attracting more than a million visitors per year.
 

There's actually a much more "nefarious" version of this joke/meme. Unfortunately, it's "politically incorrect" as it pokes fun of an ethnicity. Without mentioning any specific ethnicity (but you can probably figure out which one)....

A young son (the youngest of 3 children) asked his father, "Why did you name my older brother 'Morning Sun?' " And the father replied, "On the morning he was born, I looked outside the house and saw a beautiful morning sun rising above the hills." The son then asked, "Why did you name my sister, 'Running Brook'?" The father replied, "On the morning your sister was born, I looked outside and marveled at the fantastic running brook in the distance."

"Why d'you bother to ask me, 'Two Dogs F$$$ing?"

:eek::ROFLMAO:

Visited there. Amazing. The Vasa, old town Stockholm, and caviar on cheesecake are my three favorite memories.

Thank you,

Arcata CA had a similar system and probably still does that uses ponds and microbes that eat all of the waste. We toured the plant and the tour guide said that the water coming out of the other end dumping into the marsh consistently tested cleaner than the city water supply.

Not anymore, the bums stab each other and they float them in the pond. I doubt it's cleaner that tap water now.

All depends on WHAT they test for... California has a list of things they have to test for and have below a certain ppm level... everything else... which is an incredibly long list... they don't give a damn about... The problem with all of this wastewater reuse... even for agriculture... is that the artificial hormones in birth control pills and all sorts of other pharmaceuticals gets pissed out and DOES NOT break down... Female Horse Piss is the precursor/source for estrogen therapy for Transitioning People :rolleyes: and soy is an artificial estrogen as well... and we wonder why so many young under the age of 35 are Gender confused...?
Our local city has a semi annual free compost giveaway at the solid waste facility. They make you sign a waiver, No way am I going to put that shit in my garden . (No pun intended)
