"FALMOUTH, Mass. - The discovery of two large pieces of the Titanic's hull on the ocean floor indicates that the fabled luxury liner sank faster than previously thought, researchers said Monday." They're talking about the Titanic and they continue to say that the ship sank faster that is was depicted in the 1997 film version. At least that's good that it was a quicker death, right?

[aldog]

The guy that launched the first successful underwater expedition to find the Titanic (Ballard?) basically, on hearing this report, said:

"The ship hit an iceberg and sank.  Get over it."

Let's hope that the new findings don't inspire James Cameron to reshoot his movie.  ".....I'm the king of the glub....glub.....glub"

Titanic , Elvis , Aliens ,JFK all done and over with ,but some people can never get over it

For any of you that have Gmail accounts im sure your rather frustrated right now, or atleast i am. Apperently google is doing alot of upgrades to thier servers and gmail for many users (if not all) is down and has been down for the past few hours. Hopefully this will be remedied soon or im going to go ballistic as i want to check my email.

I was just on Gmail about 5 minutes ago.  It's working for me.  I guess it's not all the servers.  It's surprising that they'd be doing any type of update that would make the service unavailable at this time of day.
