Big love boat


Posted at 12:01 am by Mark Carlson, Herald staff

The world’s largest cruise ship set sail for Florida from its shipyard in Finland on Friday.

The 1,200-foot Oasis of the Seas boasts four swimming pools, a 1,300-seat theater, a golf course and too many other amenities to list. Passengers will be hard-pressed to enjoy them, however, as they’ll spend two-thirds of their cruise trying to find their rooms.

Miracle on the tarmac: Move over, Sully Sullenberger, we have a new hero pilot — the one who booted an obnoxious 2-year-old and his mom off a plane in San Jose.

Bad News Garage: A mechanic in Tennessee, who presumably had a boat payment due, allegedly supplemented his income by tampering with parked cars, and then coming to their stranded owners’ aid.

The mechanic fell under suspicion when his “customers” realized he 1.) was able to fix their problem the first time every time, 2.) refrained from finding and fixing other problems without their OK, and 3.) never presented them with a $934.66 bill and a shrug.
