    A poster had issues that fuel was calculated in liters. It's easy, put 3.785 liters in and you're at a US gallon. If you put 4.5 liters in, it's a CAN gallon. A mile has still the same distance on both sides of the border and the hour still holds 60 minutes.

    Believe it or not...this is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.



    US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

    CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

    US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert your course.

    CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!

    US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA*, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!

    CND reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

    Thank you, sir! That's one of the oldest internet myths on the books. Canadian naval warship? Now that's a distinct possibility.
