Cargo ship blocks all traffic in the Suez Canal
A 93,000-ton cargo ship blocked the Suez Canal on Wednesday, stopping all transit of the
waterway between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, a Suez Canal Authority official said.
The Hong Kong-flagged ship drifted at right angles to the canal while passing through the waterway near Ismailiya, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The incident happened at about 11 a.m. local time, the official said. (AP)

Those three little words are about as common as "See you later".

The Hong Kong-flagged ship drifted at right angles to the canal while passing through the waterway near Ismailiya I used to have an apartment in Ismailiya that overlooked the canal, it was great fun watching the ships "float" by in the sand. That being said, this is nothing. Egyptian pilots are at the helm of all ships going through the canal (except for military, then they advise). This ship either got crossed up or had a mechanical failure.

The Bear from the North (China and Russia combined?)
Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Ol camp song,
The other day, I saw a bear, a great big bear, oh way up there.... He said to me, why don't you run, I see you ain't got any gun....
I said to him......We got a gun, and it's real big, just lookee here.
