I came across a very interesting geek debate on Digg, related to this story on BBC News.
More than 150 passengers and crew have been rescued from a stricken tourist ship after it hit ice off Antarctica. The M/S Explorer is now lying on its side close to the South Shetland Islands, in the Antarctic Ocean.
As usually, when a bunch of geeks get together, things soon become obvious, too obvious … These are just some extracts from the comments by Digg users:
- MS explorer crashes. Outlook not good.
- Did the ship Bob?
- It was held together with Clippy
- I’m just glad this didn’t happen to ME
- It’s no surprise that this hit the FrontPage
- Well, Paint me surprised.
- Luckily the other ships picked up their 404 signal.
- OneNote, Access to such treacherous waters should be limited to ships which Excel at breaking through icebergs…
- I wonder if the penguin had anything to do with this?
And the discussion goes on …
