Taking advice from Mr Peanut Butter is like taking boat building advice from the builders of the Titanic.

Harland and Wolff at least had a good reputation, and they are still in business and were able to learn from that one big mistake. They did tempt God though, by calling the Titanic “unsinkable”; her architect, Thomas Andrews, was among her dead.

The Titanic’s immediate predecessor in the same class, the Olympic, had a 24-year career and had the nickname “Old Reliable”.
