If only there was Global Warming then the Titanic could have been saved.

The sad thing was that many of the lifeboats weren’t filled to capacity.

For those who've not yet swallowed the "red pill," I offer a truly life-changing event.

If who have not yet heard the Gary Bell (a.k.a. "Spaceman") take on the Titanic Sinking owes it to himself to listen to all of this!

(When I went there just now, I got the message "Sorry, there was a problem loading the video," but that isn't be a problem, as there is no video, only audio. What I had to do was download the file (See area to click in the upper left corner of that linked page.) and play it on my local computer.)

You'll thank yourself for taking the time, I guarantee it.

A Night to Remember was the best Titanic movie. Rewatched it a few years ago.

Probably one of the most overrated movies of all time.

I still remember walking out of “Titanic” back in 1997——and laughing. It was one of the most ridiculous movies ever.and I was stunned when it won awards.

It was also shocking how much money it made.

If the Titanic sunk today, the Drive bys would blame Trump for causing the iceberg...
