Can't believe I've just noticed this...
On the front page the quote from 'Status Quo' reads:
"The Courier turned, its rear gun mounting tracking
the Coran's Mk1 Cobra. Fierce energy fire burst out. The Mk1 Cobra was sent tumbling and exploded..."
Can somebody delete the
the ?
Cheers,
Drew.

That has puzzled me for ages... but I just let it go.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

It's because the error is in the original document. No one had reported in the four years since it was released...
My bad!
I'll fix the download if someone can fix oolite.org!
Cheers,
Drew.

I suppose it's because, unless you've read it (which I haven't
), The Coran sounds like a title of some sort, and therefore seems perfectly ordinary.

Coran is a bald bloke with a scar, not a ship-type. Emphasis on the first syllable!
Cheers,

KW wasn't suggesting a
ship type. More a
book type. Ahem.
