So somebody figured they're not that heavy, just a few lines is enough. toranokaze Sunday Feb 10 02:06 AM Your ship of fail has arrived sir ZenGum Sunday Feb 10 02:43 AM Center parts are the latest fashion.

Sundae Sunday Feb 10 02:11 PM You ever seen Whisky Galore? Wombat Sunday Feb 10 04:05 PM I've always wondered if the containers piled up high on ships are joined to each other. Now I know the answer: vertically yes, horizontally no. SPUCK Tuesday Feb 12 06:49 AM You all realize that approximately 10,000 containers are lost overboard each year? Lamplighter Tuesday Feb 12 09:37 AM Spuck, Thanks, that's new to me... interesting read. glatt Tuesday Feb 12 09:44 AM There's no profit in salvaging one of those containers. Too expensive to find them and bring them up and the merchandise is probably all ruined. toranokaze Wednesday Feb 13 01:49 AM Quote:
