The Titanic In 3-D
crimeandpunishment writes "A scientific expedition to the Titanic will create a detailed three-dimensional map of the world's most famous shipwreck. A 'dream team' of archaeologists, oceanographers, and other scientists will spend 20 days assessing the legendary ship's deteriorating condition, and collecting data and images. They're calling it the most advanced scientific mission to Titanic since its discovery 25 years ago. A leader of the expedition says this is the first time the wreck will be treated as an archaeological site, with two goals: 'One is to preserve the legacy of the ship by enhancing the story of the Titanic itself. The second part is to really understand what the state of the ship is.'"
Oh, but isn't it wonderful that we are so rich that we can spend big money on the really important things, like digging through the dumpster we laughingly refer to as "the Atlantic Ocean" for historical tidbits? Yes, as a society our priorities are clearly in proper order... Screw our natural resources, this Titanic thingie will sell advertising! And after all is said and done, isn't that what life's all about?

You misspelled "be" as "bp", that is just beyond stupid. It is not like the p is even close to the e. And stop making that annoying whoosh sound. Why do people always do that?

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
