[Malthus]

This will be of interest to some of you - the dissapearance of the Franklin Expedition was one of the great mysteries of its time.

Wow!  Awesome

... one of the great mysteries of its time. 

I'd argue that, for four hours in July, 1850, it was the greatest mystery of its time.

Well, you would know. 

[Razgovory]

Cool.  I read The Terror a few years back.

[The Brain]

Any survivors?

Any survivors?

Benjamin, I think.

[Eddie Teach]

Aretha too.

[Malthus]

Any survivors?

One cabin boy, who was so demented by his ordeal, and by eating food canned with lead, that he grew up to become Jack the Ripper.

You can read all about it in my new book ...

This is super cool.  I've read a few books on both the Frankling expedition, and on the subsequent efforts to find it.

M's title is slightly misleading (though not technically incorrect, in the finest legal tradition) - while they are saying a Franklin expedition ship was found, there were actually two of them, and they don't know which one this was (Erebus or Terror).

That's not gonna help Malthus's Stroller Fund, unless people are willing to pay well in advance.

Indeed, they would have to go back in time to pay me.

Damn, I bet Tim's pissed about not posting this topic first.

And now you know that, on Languish, for about 4 minutes in Sept 2014, it was the greatest mystery of its thread.  Then someone else posted a thread.
