This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Zepplins were also the first major aerial recon device and they were experimental bombers in WW1 in the same way tractors were fitted with armor forming the first experimental tanks.

The USS Akron was a bigger (repeat) disaster, and was also the first zepplin aircraft carrier.

*edit: corrected like half a dozen fat finger typos I missed the first go. Eesh.
