"England expects that every man will do his duty"

If you woke up this morning think today was just another stupid, boring Tuesday you would spend at your mind numbing job, you are mistaken. Not about spending another mind numbing day at work, or that this is Tuesday, but that this is just any day. Today, Oct 21, is the anniversary of the epic Battle of Trafalgar, where the English Fleet under command of Lord Nelson defeated Admiral Villeneuve's Franco-Spanish Fleet of the Spanish coast, preventing the ogre, Napoleon from setting a foul, sweaty, toe on English soil.

Please join me in an on-line toast. To HMS Victory's and the British fleet's ability to open a can of hearty kick ass.

Wow, I so can't get into history, but I can definitely get into giving a toast to some kicking ass.
