Let me try this again ...

Careful. That stick shift could be construed as a phallic symbol.

I find the abandoned/shipwrecked ocean liner to be peculiar. What one is that and why?

To sum it up from its Wiki:

Quote:

In February 1993, the ship was sold yet again, with the intention of being refitted to become a five-star hotel ship off Phuket, in Thailand. Drydocking at that time revealed that despite the years of neglect, her hull was still in remarkably good condition. In August she was renamed American Star, her propellers were removed and placed on the deck, the funnel and bridge were painted red, and ladders were welded to starboard. She left Greece on December 22, 1993 under tow, but the tow proved impossible due to the weather. She then returned to Greece for a few days until the weather calmed down. On New Year's Eve 1993, American Star left Greece for the last time, towed by Ukrainian tugboat Neftegaz 67.

The one hundred day tow began; American Star and Neftegaz 67 entered a thunderstorm in the Atlantic. The tow lines broke and six or more men were sent aboard American Star to reattach the emergency tow lines. This proved unsuccessful. Two other towboats were called to assist Neftegaz 67. On January 17, the crew aboard American Star was rescued by helicopter. The ship was left adrift. On January 18, the ship ran aground off the west coast of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands.
The deterioration of the remains of American Star between 2005 and 2007. The stern broke off and sank in 1996, leaving only the bow section on the sandbar. Since that time, the ship has developed a greater list to port, and the funnel has detached and sunk.

While discussions between the ship's owners, the towing firm, and the companies insuring the ship were going on, the ship was left to nature, with the forward part of the ship running aground on a sandbar. Within the first 48 hours of pounding surf of the Atlantic, the ship broke in two just past the second funnel. The ship was declared a total loss on July 6, 1994. The stern section collapsed completely to port and sank in 1996, while the bow continued to remain intact.[15][16]

In November 2005, the port side of the bow section collapsed, which caused the liner's remains to assume a much sharper list and the remaining funnel to detach and fall into the ocean.[17] The collapse of the port side also caused the hull to begin to break up and by October 2006, the wreck had almost completely collapsed onto its port side.[18]

In April 2007 the starboard side finally collapsed causing the wreck to break in half and fall into the sea. Throughout 2007 what little remained had been slowly disappearing beneath the waves. As of February 2010, about 15 – 20 feet of the bow remains above the water.

Dizzy yet??

Looks like a small radar dish.

It's the DirectTV for the squatters living onboard :D

It's weird, that dish doesn't show up in any other pictures I've found.

Can't really see if it's in this video or not

Pretty cool "live" camera of the wreck

Actually, looks like that really is the original radar dish. It looks brand-new in the shipwreck picture.
(same class of ship)

Super large picture of it

Spoiler

A few new wallpapers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Noops animated gifs have no place here.

Not that one at least. I just ate.

That wasn't Noop. That was Tucker who was pretty much bashed universally about that.

A girl sniffing a finger.. whatever.

What the hell is wrong with Sun Tzu? Maybe stay out of this thread or something.

Noop, never stop!

I like your animated .gifs and, as I have proven on multiple occasions, they do, in fact, belong in this thread.

Stay golden!
