Remember the old joke:
"Judge, I did kill my parents, but please take into account that I am an orphan." Van der Sloot's attorney asked the Peruvian judges to take into account that his client suffered post traumatic stress syndrome at the time of the killing from all the publicity surrounding the disappearance of Nancy Holloway five hears ago.

That's the first picture I've seen from that perspective. It hardly seems like you'd need a lifeboat with the land so close.

![]() First of all this guy appears to have really screwed up the navigation in some of the best charted waters in the world in a ship with all the modern wizz-bang gizmos. ![]() Then - maybe this is a second-language issue - he mentioned "a rock collided with our ship". ORLY? How fast was the rock going? ![]() Then he went from "we were the last to leave" to "I WAS co-ordinating - from the lifeboat". ![]() Yesterday, the ship had lurched violently and tipped them into the sea. Now he "tripped and fell ... right into a lifeboat" ![]() You, captain, are NO CAPTAIN.

Has anyone heard about these 12 HS girls exhibiting tourette-like symptoms? They're calling it conversion disorder (mass hysteria) but I don't really buy it. Of courses, I'm not a doctor IRL or on TV.
What do you think? Quote:

The Captain didn't crash on these rocks, he had already holed the boat and was trying to bring it into harbour. Not that I'm writing in his defence, because he holed the ship on other rocks after all. I can swim approx 25 metres. In a pool. I would struggle to swim in the sea. Close to rocks and a huge sinking vessel, currents would be unpredictable. In a shipwreck, I'm Shelley Winters ![]() I really feel for the families of the two old men found in their cabins with their life jackets on. Imagine their last minutes - cold and dark and knowing what would surely come... |

Were the 12 of them close? It's trickier if not. Did they all experience onset of symptoms within the same timeframe? Were those experiencing the symptoms first in contact with those who experienced them subsequently? It's all odd. Bottom line, we are unlikely to ever know if it's purely environmental/ medical. And if it's not we have to wait for one of them to get older and write a tell-all. And even then we can't be sure an unscrupulous agent/ ghostwriter/ editor is really interested in the truth. A modern mystery indeed, Infi. Last edited by Sundae; 01-19-2012 at 12:02 PM. |

My first thought was hoax, but I'm cynical like that.

I have to admit I am too.
Especially about teenage girls, who seemed like another species to me even when I was one. I've met many women since who have the midset of teenagers. And I have had to drag myself out of it (irrational jealousy and feeling left out being those I am still working on!) At least I am no longer embarrassed about who I am. I worked out you don't literally die from embarrassment. It made life so much better. I'd feel like a meanie if it wasn't. But like I say, I doubt we'd ever hear in that case. |
