Shock: Titanic was a real ship - and it sank

You heard it first on Troppo. And no Charlotte, it isn't bad that you didn't know that the Titanic was real. Philosophers have had the same trouble for years.

    Was it real even before they did the 3D version?

    Charlotte is not real, Nicholas faked it in the garage nextdoor to the moon landings .

    I think they're having a big meta sarc. They're kidding around.

    They’re kidding around.

    Well, some they do, and some they don't
    And with some you just can't tell
    Some they will and some they won't
    And for some it's just as well

    Certainly believable, even if it is difficult to parse the fakers from those who really are ignorant.

    My most memorable (though not immortalised by twitter) was a reasonbly intelligent woman I once dated who gushed one day:

    "Huh? There was an ACTUAL Vietnam War? You mean all those Vietnam War movies were based on a real war?"

    There's plenty of left-wing idiots who still don't realise that the tens of millions of deaths resulting from Mao's great leap forward were real.

    At least the teens above aren't out there actively arguing for icebergs to be placed in shipping lanes...

    Thank you Captain Buzzkill.

    Can you give us your thoughts on the Fremantle v St. Kilda clash this friday, as it relates to the Dekulakization of the Ukraine?

    I wouldn't complain if Stalin purged Zac Dawson and Adam McPhee

    I thought Skeletor was okay last outing, admittedly from a low baseline, but yeah, Dawson has to go.

    He must have pics of Grant in some St Kilda-esque compromising position.
