Not Terribly Original
Today, Nick Sarkozy launches France’s latest “New Generation” nuclear submarine “Le Terrible“. The sub can carry a crew of 111 and 16 home-grown ballistic missiles.
France seems to have difficulty finding original names for its ships. This is the 16th vessel with the same name in the country’s Navy history. Le Terrible #16 will join three other nuke subs with names that will scare the shit out of all enemies: Le Triomphant #8, Le Téméraire #16 and Le Vigilant (unknown number of predecessors).

In case nobody has noticed, Cécilia and Richard Attias are getting married on Sunday.
Wedding + bad election results + new sub “le Pas Terrible” =
Teheran gets it Sunday night !
Unless he’s decided to nuke Brittany.
