Cardinal Sin wrote:I believe it was because the Americans conspired to have the boat sunk in order that they could enter the war (partly by having it carry armaments, partly by leaking intelligence to the Germans IIRC).
Sadly, I've no grainy footage to show you which proves my point so you'll just have to take my word for it!
Close enough; there is a conspiracy theory that still alleges that we (the British) actually sunk the ship.
Probably by using 2 plane shaped missiles, yes.

Is it through whiskey that most Italian children were conceived?
By the way, are we talking whisky or whiskey?

collina's gemma says it is WHISKEY with the E. but for the purposes of the question it doesn't matter.

Total guess, but are there very few words in Italian (similar to German) beginning with the letter W... whisky being the most obvious one which is how children learn the letter?

Sin wins. there is no W in italian (whisky also has K and Y which are never used and H which is only in the verb to have (ho, hai ha, abbiamo, avete hanno)).
but that is by the way, Your Eminence...
