Thar She Goes!

For those of you who still don't believe that taking a cruise can be hazardous to your health, we offer the recent case of the Italian vessel Costa Concordia, pictured above.

Seems as if the ship's captain, Francesco Schettino, wanted to signal someone on the island of Giglio and brought the ship so close that he ran it aground.

So far there are six are confirmed dead and twenty-nine are missing. The captain fled the sinking ship in a lifeboat while everyone on board had to fend for themselves.

He faces charges of shipwreck, manslaughter and abandoning his vessel. We thinks he should walk the plank.
