I'm going to hazard a guess that Mr Darwin sir sponsored this paper in the hopes that the terminally stupid wouldn't be able to make it past the first page, never mind far enough to read the caveat.  rubschin:

Dangerous conditions around Falmouth? I call bullshit. Hundreds of cargo vessels shelter off Gyllyngvase each year and none of them end up running aground so where exactly are these dangerous conditions?

Sounds about right, this picture shows it perfectly...



If you look to the horizon on the left of the image you can see another cargo ship anchored, now unless there are a load of ships seeking safe harbour for weather conditions that's the normal distance they are from the coast. So even if the owners are trying to claim that the incoming tide is strong enough to drag an anchored vessel of that size into the shore which would preclude using the bay as a safe harbour the only logical cause for this is crew error.

I think I've just found the material for Apey's next comedy routine... The CEO of Twitter sent beard clippings to a witch so that he could have an amulet to protect him from ISIS

Mr Darwin sir, I think I've found a business opportunity for you that will also help clean the gene pool at the same time. IF these mooks are going to see volcanoes up close and personal because they don't get the same thrill they used to from skydiving then why not combine both activities....  eveilgrin:
