text: While randomly searching Wikipedia and its sister projects, I noticed that, while Wikipedia itself has a moderate amount of information on Commodore computers, expansions, drives and such, its side-sites such as Wikibooks contain little that would be helpful to people new to the C= universe.

text: Wandering on the 'pedia I stumble on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(BLDG_7115)#Facilities Last time I checked, US Navy don't have the custom of stone frigates; Knowing the very erratic reliability of the Wikipedia, I can ask if some can explain this ?

text: Interesting... It makes me think of wasps, chewing up wood and making their paper honeycomb nests. I assume their saliva helps act as a binder to some degree (the 'pedia says they're waterproof). I'm sure it helps that the structure is never very thick so it can easily air out.
