    So not a quick job then.
    "An explosives-filled Nazi warship, which was sunk in 1944, was recovered from watery depths near the Serbian coast last week, according to social media posts by Serbian government officials from last week.
    The ship, which was sunk in Danube, was one of 200 intentionally wrecked by German naval forces.
    Rear Admiral, Paul-Willy Zieb ordered the ship’s disposal to avoid it being taken by the fast-approaching Russian army.
    Serbia's Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Goran Vesić wrote on X, formerly Twitter, last week "Yesterday, we pulled out of the Danube, near Prahov, the first Nazi river warship that belonged to the Danube and Black Sea fleets of the Kriegsmarine.
    "In the coming months, we will remove 21 ships that have been at the bottom of the Danube on the waterway through Serbia for eighty years. In the next phase, about eighty ships will be removed."

    Interesting a ship can belong to a political party...

    Short-hand, and/or lazy.

    I was a volunteer for an experiment when I was an undergrad. The testers gave each of the fifty volunteers a sheet of instructions. The first line read "Read all the instructions before beginning." I was the only one who was still reading after 30 seconds. One of the instructions was to stand up and then sit back down. It looked like a prairie dog town in that auditorium.

    I learned in situations like that to skip to the end, and then read the instructions backwards... Saves lots of time usually...

    "Who shall test the testers?" (Typed carefully less the sentence becomes too weird.)
