Wow, that long ago?! How time flies when you're not going down with a ship!

I am not sure if this will show up or not but it is from a slideshow about the Titanic.  The picture is of the boy using his whip top on the ship's deck but the caption says he is playing shuffleboard!!!

That's just a not very good slideshow. It does not mention the story of the boy, which we know.

The Titanic is back……the movie, at least.  It has been 25 years and now they are having a 25th anniversary release at the theaters.  It is in 3D.  People around here have been talking about it.  How many times have we had top spinning shown in 3D?
