If the Universe has a sense of humor,...

There are times where I have to ask myself if the universe has a sense of humor, and some of those times, I hope not. For those of you who have not yet heard, there is a memorial cruise of the voyage of the Titanic scheduled for April 2012. They will be taking the same number of passengers, leaving at the same day, the same time, following the same route, serving the same meals and having some of the same activities as the original Titanic. I checked out the website, and the cheapest cabin is about $3,000. They will stop over the site of the sunken original and at 2:20 AM on the 12th of April, have a memorial service, and then they plan on actually arriving in New York City. Does anybody else think this is a bad idea? I mean, there is tempting fate, and there's sticking your head into the alligators mouth, with your head slathered in chicken fat. What's next, a re-enactment of the Hindenburg disaster, complete with an airship, filled with Hydrogen? How about an 'all-you-can-eat' buffet at the Donner Party Memorial Dinner? A Hide-and-Go-Seek Airplane race for the Amelia Erhart memorial flight? Hopefully the universe is looking the other way that week in 2012. I hate it when its sense of irony rears its ugly head.
