Topic awaiting preservation: Modern ghost ship ... what happened?

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/auspac/01/14/aust.ghostship/index.html

So, what happened? Pirates? Bad food? Sight seeing and someone forgot to tie up the boat?

What's your best guess?

(edit: sheesh ... first time I poke fun and I get slammed for it. Fine. Reference removed ... carry on.)

A giant Squid ate them all.

And I think it's time we did away with the Yannah jokes...she doesn't really deserve it you know, she just can't speak English as well as we can, and so doesn't alwasy understand everything said to her in it.

Amen.

Can the Yannah jokes.

Wow, that's a pretty elusive ship--I can't even get the page to load up!

When in doubt, though, Bermuda Triangle. So what if they were on the other side of the world?

Works for me still.

BeeKay: Pirates - they aren't going to try and steal a hold full of stinking fish but they may steal the crew for ransom or slavery.

Its also possible that it is part of an elaborate viral marketing campaign for a forthcoming Holywood blockbuster

Ahhhhhhhhh hold on a what happened was that they got bored and started slapping each other with fish and they foolishly used tuna and slapped each other overboard (I see the last two standing there going 'No you slap me first', 'No you slap me', 'Noooo you slap me first', ''NO YOU SLAP ME FIRST', etc. [based on a scuffle I once witnessed - without fish and stuff] and then they got fed up with waiting and slapped each other overboard at exactly the same time). Seagulls would have cleared up any other evidence that was lying around - the Perfect Crime (like stabbing someone with an icicle).

Why can't we make Yannah jokes anymore - we still make Ray ones

Ah, that's better.

I think the key there is that the boat was Taiwanese-owned--it's obvious that the Chinese were testing out one of their new disintegrator rays. I can't believe no one has thought of that yet.

yeah here's one! i went there and killed all of them!

"Trust" is a dirty word that comes only from such a liar but "respect" is something I will learn...if you have faith!!

She said it!!! Not me!!! I had nothing to do with it!!!

However, the family of the chief engineer Lin received a large cellphone bill of NT$ 40,000. The bill showed that the cellphone was still being used in Bali.

Aliens are using the engineer's phone! That's the only possible explanation!

WebShaman... you could be right.

Maybe they just went for a swim...

...and never returned!

Well that's stupid. Of course they never returned! If they returned, they'd be on their boat. Ram, you jackass!

alien abduction....
