High-Resolution Images Of Sunken Titantic Are Quiet Beauty.
True confession: I’ve known that the Titanic was awesome ever since I was underage and saw Kate Winslet’s boobs aboard it. Since then I’ve grown up as a man dedicated to studying its nooks and crannies via internet searches and audio plants I’ve snuck into James Cameron’s secret compound nestled in its caverns. With that obsession firmly in tow, these high-resolution images that National Graphic is dropping ahead of the sunken beauty’s 100th anniversary are tear-jerking for me. Oh the beauty of its sunken treasure chests. Of its sunken booty, just waiting to be found.

At first most thought it was because of an unfavorable smell the stars exuded, but it may turn out to be something more clever. The stars themselves put up barriers. Cosmic bumper bowling.
