Just as we were putting the finishing touches to today’s blog, our tech-minded son who has a sense of humor that is…ah, unusual…fired off an email about what can happen on a cruise ship in rough seas. Allegedly. Real or not, it’s too good not to share with you.
Start by going boing-boing — that’s the name of the website — and then come back for the Q and A.
(fingers tapping)…
You’re back.
Our first reaction was it couldn’t be true. Somebody staged it. Check with Snopes. So we did and, as of last night, Snopes hadn’t heard of it. But an ever-growing number of Internet geeks had. One of them had a great line: “It’s as if somebody forgot to pay the gravity bill.”
There were 49 comments when we viewed. Three minutes later, we watched again. There were 54 comments. A fraction of who’s looking, no doubt.
Here are our questions for you:
1. Does anybody recognize the ship?
2. Was anybody reading this blog on the ship?
3. Do you know anybody who was?
4. Where were the seas this temperamental?
5. Who filmed it?
6. Is it fake?
Answers, please.
As for today’s blog…tomorrow.
