Please don’t tell me the British navy can’t handle this.

“Please don’t tell me the British navy can’t handle this.”

The British navy probably can’t handle this.

Or a 12 year old with a rubber mallet and a box of matches.

They can break anything.

>> Canada decided not to pursue the ship, declaring that it — no longer poses a threat to [Canada]

Funny.

Most famous ghost ship:

The Amazon, later the Mary Celeste, was said to be cursed.

Just to be safe, I think the entire island of Great Britain should be evacuated. This "ghost ship" laden with cannibal rats poses a clear and present danger to the U.K.

France will provide temporary living quarters for all until the danger passes.

If they were smart which they are not they should announce a free vacation trip to mecca, all aboard !

“A ghost ship filled with cannibal rats”

How did democrats get on that ship?

1. There's no reason to use the word "ergo," ever. 2. All rats are "cannibal rats." 3. It is true that there are all sorts of mysterious things floating around in the sea, and some of them are ships... But only once have I seen a "ship without lights" or "ghost ship," and it was probably not a modern Marie Celeste. But who knows? The vessel in question lay no more than 80 miles East of Norfolk, and was seen at night, on a moonless night. It was not underway, and it may have been at anchor, but it showed no shapes nor lights. In fact we came upon it fast and it was very scary. Probably military, yes... Probably watching us, yes... But spooky as heck when it looks like a big black cliff coming up on you!

As long as it’s not carrying coffins with dirt from Transylvania....

Oh, Rats!

'1. There's no reason to use the word "ergo," ever."

You just did; ergo, there is.

[Patriot Babe]

That reminds me of the movie Ghost Ship =)

I’ll wait for the movie.
