Puts a new spin on the word "Houseboat"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't know why, but this reminds me of a helicopter "crash opera" video I have a link to:
I know it's not PC and there were probably fatalities, but it cracks me up every time I watch it.

It happens more often than you'd think.
As an example, in the waters surrounding Britain where the one man bridge watch is generally employed on most short sea and coastal shipping routes, an average of six ships a year go aground purely as a result of the watch-keeper falling asleep, becoming incapacitated or being absent from the bridge. Since 1993, sixty groundings have occurred for the same reasons.Comment

What with coastal erosion, rising sea levels, tsunamis, and now the fear of ships I'm really glad I never bought that guesthouse in Blackpool after all.Comment

It was a Norwegian ship and it hit a house on a canal in the Netherlands. Captain dozed off, apparently.Originally posted by xoggothDoesn't say where it was. I expect the captain was Greek.It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. www.areyoupopular.mobiComment
