In Space Time Travel magazine in in 1998 there was an article by an archeologist Manuel de Anda who has examined a capsule found in the Spanish Pyrenees near Pico de Aneto in 1932.
He mentioned that two generations of linguists now have exposed enough of the cipher to build the scenario. Apparently, this item was jettisoned from the last warring combatants on a planet named 57AI of the Serious solar system.
The war had started in the distant pass and apparently ended in our time about 2500 BC considering the distance the capsule had to travel and the time it lay undiscovered in the mountains. It seemed it started with an argument over the 30-06 vs. the 270. on some electromagnetic media and escalated into full blown war. A colonel Ivilkilu was honest enough to to add in the inscription they were a wholly unpleasant race to begin with.
The last surviving members and the senders of the capsule carried 30-06s. Yea, the 30-06 won.
Uhhh, no. The 270 is far superior, sheesh! Even the aliens should know that.

Total nonsense. The 30-06 name is unique to backwards earth men. Any knowledgeable alien would have used the metric designation 7.62mm x 63.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
In other news, some of you actual physicists can help me remember which principle this is, but in quantum physics it is postulated that given an infinite amount of time every event that can happen will happen.
So in some universe, somewhere, there is a traitorous bastard me who favors the Gyrojet.
Hard to imagine...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
� The 30-06 name is unique to backwards earth men. Any knowledgeable alien would have used the metric designation 7.62mm x 63.
And a backwards alien can mess it up.
It's 7.62x63mm.
7.62mm x 63 MUST be the right way. I couldn't remember the 63 so I googled it. The web page I got said 7.62mm x 63. It's on the web, therefore it must be correct.

That web page is controlled by the .270 aliens.

Clearly the battle between the .270 aliens and the 30-06 aliens was long in coming. The .270 aliens realized that while they had the same length, they had less bore size. First they started a campaign that said that bore size didn't matter. Then it was thinner and faster was better. All while they knew deep inside that bore size would always rule the day. That bore size had always satisfied and would continue to do so.
The war started, and the 30-06 aliens with their bore size won in the end.
This was the sad outcome of simple caliber envy gone too far.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
"I believe someone in Congress wanted to abolish the Patent Office in the late 1800's because everything had been invented."
IIRC (and I may not), it was 1910, and the HEAD of the Patent Office who thought it should be dissolved.
But then someone wouldn't get rich patenting playing with a cat and a laser pointer:
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5443036 A method for inducing cats to exercise consists of directing a beam of invisible light produced by a hand-held laser apparatus onto the floor or wall or other opaque surface in the vicinity of the cat, then moving the laser so as to cause the bright pattern of light to move in an irregular way...
Or a child's swing: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6368227 A method of swing on a swing is disclosed, in which a user positioned on a standard swing suspended by two chains from a substantially horizontal tree branch induces side to side motion by pulling alternately on one chain and then the other.
I Have Both a 30-06 and a 270 and I Just Don�t Know What to Do!
My ought six is an early left hand Savage. My 270 is a left hand Remington with some of the best looking wood for a factory stock. Both shoot better than I can.
I like to carry the Savage as it is lighter. I like to carry the Remington and look at the wood.
Woe is me-what to do?

not a left-hand gun in the cabinet, but there should be? blue steel and black walnut in combination are a good answer.
there was the need for a two=line explanation after the first one-liner, and before the three-liner, in order to offer consistency. but, i digress.

Plus you should know that touching your keyboard completes an ion circuit to your cerebellum (thus you are not aware of the input) and upward to your cerebrum and is controlled by the Alpha Centurion moon being, the only living, known ally of the "270" plasm beings.
So far it is known by only those folk from Iowa that they are immune from this treachery; it is intuitive then, that all folk from other "outlying areas" are unknowingly affected and thus shoot .270s.
