Titanic Asciis?!

· 13 messages · 26 Mar 1998 - 16 Apr 1998
Hi, I'm been on this newsgroup for a few weeks and I think it's pretty
neat. I was just wondering, does anyone have any Titanic ascii's? No, I
don't mean of the actors... which would be quite hard to do. Just some of
the ship.

Why would the fourth funnel be for ventilation? To suck the smokey air back into the ship and give all the passengers Carbon Monoxide poisoning?

Well, shouldn't that have been the first one, as now all the exhaust fumes are sucked into the intake.. :-) -- Universal CBM & TI-calc nut, Scout, Glider pilot, "Student" Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope(-) Donate me a Sony Mavica MVC-FD7, please! :-)

In Entertainment Weekly he's qouted as saying, "The stoves were coal stoves, so you had some smoke out of the fourth funnel." __________\/______________________ / |\____ \ | Sarah \`----`\ pikaia @ | | Kearsley `"""""+\ hotmail.com | \__________________________________/

Or the David Cameron's wrong... :-) I saw the movie (again!) yesterday, and the last funnel was expelling quite some smoke, although not as much as the other ones. -- ________________________P r a s e o d y m i u m 5 9 praseodymium59<at>geocities.com ICQ UIN 4191789 http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/5992/Praseodymium.html 'Fight, turn, love, with no pity' - Blind Zero______

Thus, some smoke would have been seen coming out of it at times, though nowhere near as much as what the massive boiler rooms were pumping out. -Will K. Email to mud AT foxinternet DOT net.

Oh Dodgemiester, you're on to something here. I always said that the Titanic was a dangerous ship, but this proves my point. My ancestors swung by their necks, not their tails. I suport publick skool
