Does anyone know if there is an updated news story on this? Just curious, thanks!

'Walking the plank' is more a contemporary myth than a historical precedent

For the most part, walking the plank is a Hollywood myth.

I'm with makeup face on this one, and it would help, I believe, if there was just a bit more civility in society today.

 

A terrible tragedy, and my thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those lost overboard.

I find it hard to believe that people "fall" overboard. On every ship that I have been on, you have to climb up on something to get over the railings. Seems odd to me -

What's everyone's opinion of dressing up or not for formal night?:rolleyes:

Dangling kids over the railings. MJ

Maybe they were doing the **wink wink** mentioned on another post...

[holidayathesea]

How can you do the **wink wink** on railings? Not to mention, at their age?!?! lol...

Could gambling looses be a reason to jump overboard? :eek: More here:

Now wait a minute.

 

Kinsey found men still making love about once a week at the age of sixty-five. In one group 75-year-olds were having sex about once a month; and 80-year-olds were managing it once every nine or ten weeks. The record for such things lies with a white man who was having - at the age of seventy - more than seven ejaculations per week !

No I won't link it

Once retirement age kicks in - WhoooHooo!!!!!! :)
