Plagiarize much? Still a cool story though.

Didn't mean to. I saw it on my news feed on my phone and thought it was recent. I will take the 10 lashes as punishment.

Send me all your gold. And I will forgive you, and absolve you of all guilt feelings.

I told you to kill that subscription to national enquirer.

Felix, something is very fishy with that story and ship's photo.
The photo clearly shows a steam ship and the story text says the ship, the Bom Jesus, had disappeared in 1533.

It doesn't make sense! Steamships were invented in the 1780s, with the first functional steam-powered boat, the Pyroscaphe, being built in France in 1783.

The writer of the article must've used a "file photo" instead of an actual picture of the site. That's what I think. I believe the article to be real. But hey we know how what once were facts have changed in our time. (BTW - Scoundrel stated he posted the story months ago in another section).
