My understanding has always been ships are refered to as women because
if you dont treat them gently, they'll be mean. With that said, i have
had a chance to frequent many sailing vessles of various sizes and
they were all feminantly named except one, "Brutus". My understanding
was that had something to do with the Twin V10's, but it sure did
break down alot and at $1000/hr to operate (Twas a cigarette racing
boat like the drug runners use), it was just rediculous. "Brutus" is a
better name for a lawn tractor.

I'm not sure what my bus deserves. It's clearly crippled or komotos
half the time. The fact that i think it was running on 2.5 cylinders
by the time it made it to the shop makes me wonder just what hell this
bad boys been through in its past life, and now its like that dog with
3 legs and one ear that you look past it all and just really want to
help.
I'm throwing this dog a few bones.

It has been refered to as "Engelburt" though.
