    Interesting, I wasn't aware Groupon was still a thing.

    Looking at the link though, there's at least two vessels I'd never set foot on, a privateer submarine, and a Carnival cruise ship; both operating in the same waters.

    I still call it The Jake.

    Given the choice, I'd take the sub.

    Counterpoint: the cruise ship has lifeboats, radios, and emergency locating devices. So even though you'll get norovirus, and if/when it sinks, you have a chance...

    Isn't the very definition of the term "adventurer" your willingness to do outrageous stuff that has a high probability of death/injury that most normal people wouldn't even consider?

    As Everest has become as common an achievement as a boy scout merit badge, what's left for the true ADVENTURER?
    Billionaire rocket rides into space?
    Billionaire tube dives to the deepest depths of the ocean?


    Hmm, I smell opportunity...

    Am I the only one who found that movie boring and while cool to see pics of the ship at rest on the sea floor am generally not interested?

    I know we all have our things but the Titanic is def. not one of mine.

    Before last week I hadn’t thought about it since it was in theaters and it was just as annoying then.

    Spoiler, the boat sinks.

    Or agreeing that the movie was boring?

    I've never watched the movie in it's entirety. I've watched the section of the boat sinking several times. That seemed to be the best part.

    I still remember going to see it in the theatre and the girls in front of me crying and saying something like "i can't believe they sank the ship"

    The latter. Visually, the movie is great. The love story borrowed heavily from innumerable (better) works spanning 400+ years back to The Bard himself. Plus, three hours?

    Maybe the movie just needed better music?
