Shipping traffic through the Suez Canal has been blocked since Tuesday. The canal regularly stays at around 50 ships per day, things are really starting to pile up.

It's so large it would take a while to mobilize something big enough to move it.

Take the cargo off. Blow it up like that whale on the beach in the 70s.

It'd be interesting to see satellite shots of ships piling up on the ends of the canal.

Look.....now.....I'm no 'Big City Ordinance Expert' but even I could have told you that this was a stupid plan that wasnt going to work.

A whale is not going to be able to contain an explosion of that size.

Now. Theres a phrase I never thought I'd ever type....and yet here we are.

Everything about this so-called 'plan' is stupid. Where did they find these people?

Well, the story is turning into kind of a big deal and I thought it deserved a thread. So I asked myself "how might I begin a thoughtful discussion on such a major world event while simultaneously making a butt joke?"

We are having so much difficulty getting products from overseas right now. Why not add this debacle to the mix? This year has been insane.

FFS. Anybody know if ships from Shanghai enroute to Vancouver go through the Suez? I know nothing about this ####.

My ship is expected in Vancouver April 11...if it did go through the Suez maybe it's already through.

No I don't think so, wouldn't that ship sail across the Pacific?
