For some unknown reason I was looking at the company compressor and noted the name plate read "WARNE'S MEIJI"

Where's Lardbucket when you need him!

The Anglo-Zanzibar War was fought between the United Kingdom and Zanzibar on 27 August 1896. With a duration of only 45 minutes, it holds the record of being the shortest war in recorded history.
