It will make it if:

(1) no critical propulsion or navigation system failure or general upset.

(2) it does run into a rogue wave

(3) it does hit one of the many cruise ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, or unknown navy vessels patrolling in its path

Moby should be on the list. He might think it is Ahab, or he might think it is his new toy, and send it skipping along in the wrong direction for hours at a time.

Namu should be on that list as well. Heck what about Megalodon off South Africa?

Of course it will make it. Just maybe not under it's own power.

Cheesy..

I did hear a report saying that Philadelphia is the angriest city in America because they have an inferiority complex being so close to New York City.

Where's the brotherly love?

Perhaps they need to cut back on the chocolate?

TANSTAFPS (applies to Philly cheese steak sandwiches) Probably Robbie was murdered by some angry bastage from Philly who got run off by the Soup Nazi.
