You don't need to be a cruise junky, but it helps.

Here we go then. Two interesting facts I have learned recently:

[B]Why are ships so big?[/B]

Isambard Kingdom Brunel discovered that if you double the size of a ship, you only need the equivalent of one and a half times the power.

[B]How far does the average cruise ship travel on one gallon of fuel?[/B]

Hard to believe, but six inches! Not bad I suppose with 2000 passengers on board.

Well I found it interesting [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img] Any others that you know of?

Hope to have the privilege of meeting you (and your family, if applicable) on the P/C cruise outa Galveston in November! If there's a piano bar, I'll be there! Too much fun to pass up!

TTFN! (ta-ta-for-now)

I really like ice cream floats.

Well Newfoundlanders (the dogs) are pretty big and they are great swimmers so some big dogs float.
