"Well There's Your Problem"
Here's a story on how some researchers are saying it was cheap rivets that caused the ultimate failure of the Titanic. That's not a new theory, but what I found interesting was this: Harland & Wolff rejected the researchers' findings. The company from Northern Ireland that made the Titanic is apparently still around to defend its construction. Sorry, dudes, but I think something was wrong there. And when people decided to make the world's largest ship, who decided to contract that out to the Irish? With a bunch of sub-human, drunken potato-eaters putting it together, it's a miracle it made it far enough from England to strike an iceberg. 26 Responses To ""Well There's Your Problem""
I can't believe you're buying into this truther nonsense. Soon you'll start telling us about how Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith secretly switched out the rivets and how ice can't cut steel. #1 - Posted by: MB on April 15, 2008 10:53 AMI found this riveting. #2 - Posted by: Jimmy on April 15, 2008 11:04 AMHERE's what really happened. :o) [He stole that from me! I wrote that idea in the comments on Hot Air (after someone linked to him), and a couple days later that appeared. I was going to do it! -Ed.] #3 - Posted by: G Fresh on April 15, 2008 11:09 AMBut the part about the "sub-human, drunken potato-eaters putting it together," here's the deal. My Irish relatives are coming to Boise with their potato guns to plaster your car, Frank. I'm gonna need you to stand near it when they're firing, okay? That'd be great. Thanks. #4 - Posted by: Jimmy on April 15, 2008 11:13 AMWe've been over all this. The reason the Titanic sank was to allow Kate Winslet to escape a loveless marriage to Billy Zane without having to be stuck with penniless Leo DiCaprio. She swiped the diamond representing the treasure of a passion-filled life (not too mention a deep checking account)leaving behind a symbol of her now-sullied maidenhood. Not a bad trade. But if not for the iceberg she'd have been down in steerage, sampling her future life all the way to NYC. And she'd have started drilling out those rivets herself with that big-ass diamond. Everyone knows this. Sheesh #5 - Posted by: badmartin on April 15, 2008 11:35 AMIf it's not Scottish, it's crap! #6 - Posted by: MarkoMancuso on April 15, 2008 11:44 AMRivets or not, if the boat fills with water, down she goes. So maybe they should have designed her watertight compartments to have actual walls going all the actual way up to the actual ceiling, so they would actually be watertight. Just sayin'. #7 - Posted by: nightfly on April 15, 2008 11:57 AMThe fact that this company still exists is a striking testament to the free market system. #8 - Posted by: Sanjayrupta Pravati on April 15, 2008 12:55 PM"No expense has been spared" -Jimmy James "Not one. The hull alone is held together by over 200 miles of duct tape" -Joe Garelli "I thought we were going with steel for the hull" -Jimmy James "No, steel's not waterproof" -Joe Garelli NewsRadio Episode Sinking Ship #9 - Posted by: D-Rock on April 15, 2008 01:00 PM"Harland & Wolff rejected the researchers' findings." I second that, although I'm not sure why...... The jooooooossssss had something to do with it, I'm sure!! #11 - Posted by: Clay S. on April 15, 2008 03:26 PMIn a mean abode on the Shankill Road Now, he was glad he had done what he had Then he took the sheet from his wifes cold feet But the strangest turn of the whole concern A man is speeding down a narrow mountain road near Derry, when a woman comes hurtling round the corner in smaller car. He swerves to avoid her, but as she passes she leans out the window and screams 'PIG!' Astonished, the man turns and yells back, 'BITCH!' as he reaches the bend... just before crashing into a pig. #14 - Posted by: AlanABQ on April 15, 2008 04:40 PMThe rivets were made and installed by .....IRISH JOOOOOOOOOOSSSS! #15 - Posted by: TerribleTroy on April 15, 2008 06:03 PMLooking good for those who have bonus points for an IRA bomb instead of an Islamofascist bomb in the FrankJ deadpool. #16 - Posted by: Dohtimes on April 15, 2008 07:00 PMThe Titanic was built by sober black protestants. The drunken, potato-eating sub-human, etc., types were put on board to die like rats. Like RATS, I tells ya. My favorite bits of Belfact graffiti: "Northern Irelans: A problem for every solution." "Buy now, while shops last." Yar! #18 - Posted by: Sea Captain on April 15, 2008 07:33 PMWhy did William Bloat have his wife's nightdress on? Seems kinda creepy to me. #19 - Posted by: K T Cat on April 15, 2008 08:01 PMWhy would they reject the findings? Is there a 122 year old lawyer out there still hoping to file a wrongfull death class action suit against the firm? Maybe he can represent the William Bloat estate against the English razor company while he's waiting. #20 - Posted by: icefisherman on April 15, 2008 09:47 PMloser I'm part Irish. We like beer, sue us. I think ill join Jimmy in potato gunning ur car. #21 - Posted by: on April 15, 2008 09:55 PM#21 needs to sign their name so I know who to call. Hey, it's April 15th, the worst day of the year and I need to shoot sumpin. I ate my potatoes already and downed some grog (brewskies to you prolly). My stubborn Scot ancestor's wacky offspring married crazy inbred Welshmen and had seven toes and finners. I hate Frank. He's Flemmish. #22 - Posted by: Jimmy on April 15, 2008 10:32 PM"sub-human, drunken potato-eaters" I like that one, Frank. #23 - Posted by: Sammy L. on April 15, 2008 11:28 PMNí síocháin go saoirse!! #24 - Posted by: on April 16, 2008 08:50 AMi was #21... "Ní síocháin go saoirse!!" Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over. It's been a while since I was speaking the language regularly, but this strikes me as horrible Irish. I think it's an attempt to say "No peace until freedom!!" but it makes a fundamental mistake: Irish has no words for "Yes" and "No". In Irish you can agree or disagree with statements, but you can't say a simple "Yes" or "No". You could say "Ní bheidh síocháin gan saoirse!!" - "There won't be peace without freedom!!", I guess. #26 - Posted by: Patrick Carroll on April 16, 2008 07:56 PMPost a comment
