The bream (Abramis brama) is a fresh water fish allied to and belonging to the carp family Cyprinidae. It is about 70 cm long, of a yellowish-white colour, and distinguished by its compressed and elevated body, the short dorsal fin, and the absence of barbells on the mouth. There are seven European species, two of which are British, the common bream and the white bream. Some species occur sporadically in salt-water, and they are often found in stagnant and slow-moving water. It is found in many European lakes and rivers, and affords good sport to the angler, but is a very coarse and insipid food. It prefers still water with a bottom of soft soil, and feeds both on animal and vegetable matter. It is little known in Scotland, though common in many parts of England and Ireland. The name is also given to various kinds of sea-fishes, mostly of the family Sparidae, as the black sea-bream, the common sea-bream or gilthead, the abort sea-bream, etc. Research Bream
The Deicide Virus is a computer virus which infects .COM files in the rootdirectory of the current drive only. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation, corrupts program files. If all files are infected, and Deicide is not on the C drive it attempts to ruin it anyway. If all files in the root direcory on drive C are infected, data on the fixed disk is destroyed, a message displayed and the computer hung. If a program is successfully overwritten, Deicide exits to DOS after displaying the message 'File corruption error.' If Deicide is trapped on a diskette that is write- protected, it will generate ' Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail' messages . Research Deicide Virus

U-110 was a German IXB type submarine, which in May 1941 was captured south of Iceland, intact by a British fleet after being forced to the surface and a British Destroyer (HMS Broadway) made to ram the submarine. Fearing for the crew, and believing the submarine would be sunk, the submarine's commander ordered everyone to abandon the submarine, leaving everything behind. However, the commanding British destroyer ordered the destroyer to abort the ram. The survivors were picked up and a boarding party entered the submarine and removed code books, signal books and charts. The code and signal books proved invaluable in decoding the enigmacodes used by the German navy during the Second World War. Fritz Lemp (the commander of U-110) was never seen again. Suggestions that he was shot by the boarding party are rebuked by the leader of the boarding party who suggests that the German commander, ashamed at his error of judgement in allowing his vessel to be captured intact, committed suicide in the water. The submarine was allowed
to sink the next day so that the German's would not know of the capture, and the loss of essential code and signal books. Research U-110
