I saw this news on Fox and they had a map of Norway in the background ... which is rather misleading to people watching them who might wonder which end of the globe the Antartic is.I saw that too. They had Oslo highlighted as if that is where the incident occurred. What dunces!

LOL, I was looking for your Titanic gif and during the process I came across this silly one that GrampaDave asked for one time.
Thought it might bring a laugh or two.
I have Titanic on standby....if it doesn’t sink!!

I got the pun, it was a good one.
Thanks for the update on filters, my filter review information is old.

Another good one, potlatch. What’s she going to do with all those shoes?

I took this photo this year of another cruise ship approaching the Hubbard Glacier after we moved away to give people some idea of the scale. The top of the ship is at least a 110 feet above the water line.
The year before we were bumped pretty good by a berg.

Hi Lucy. Way back when Norman Hsu was all we posted I had a request to portray Hillary as an Albatross figurehead with shoes [Hsus] hanging from her neck, lol.

When Allied Signal bought Fram, the component quality went from “adequate” to “how cheap can we get?”.
I’m not sure if the quality has improved, but I’ll never buy another Fram product after an oil filter failure cost me the original engine in my Mark III. I learned about the lowering of component grade AFTER the fact.

I’m glad you were able to prove their culpability. I couldn’t, and I paid.

I thought the glaciers had all melted, leading, inexorably to the snowiest Boston December on record.

Happened to me once when I was taking my tanker up a very narrow Swedish fijord. It could have ruined my day. Ah, then clearly what happened to THIS cruise ship was that it was pinin' for the fjords...

It’s a small world out there. I sailed chief mate on a super container ship that carried one of the Exxon Valdez’s rebuilt pistons as our spare. We crossed her bow, then renamed Exxon Mediterranean, as we departed Singapore.

"What the heck is the importance of showing the country of registry"
Well,the "Olaf's" are generally considered much safer and more accomplished seamen than those from other countries. For example if this were an Indonesian cruise ship the head line might have read; "all passengers feared lost after collision with iceberg, except for the crew."
