I know, I just do not give up, this is the second Funny Edits concerning Francesco Schettino, captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship who hit bottom and almost completely sank the ship, because of human behavior. I just could not resist a second run… lol
Francesco Schettino – Premium Marine Joke
Well, what I can say for Mr. Schettino, the infamous captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship who hit bottom and overturned the cruise ship off the Italian coast. I do not know what to say other than say that I am a bit disappointed at myself; yes me, because by finishing an essay I could have indirectly predicated that such thing could happen again under an Italian captain, unfortunately that essay isn’t done. In that essay I explain why Italy produces “some of” the best and worst captain around.
Sure they have good captains, the country is surrounded by water, due to this going back into history books will reveal the huge implication of Italian explorers, all countries hired them, surpassing Portugal, France and Spain and only the British have done better in terms of exceptional navigators and service rendered.
However, the same factor that yields many good captains, also yield potential unqualified people into the navy that simply can’t handle high pressure moments. And this is not new story, in World War 2 German military papers, which were observations by German officers, have reported negative behavior from some Italian units operating along Germans, where Italian seaman were not disciplined and where in many occasion surrendered under light situations and/or avoided confrontation all together. How Francesco Schettino reacted was just a “possible” repeat of history, predictable as I said earlier.
However, let’s remember the opposite is true, some of the greatest captains were Italian and the balance is still in Italian favor for good captains out there. Even Francesco Schettino made a decent move under the circumstance as he turned the ship around to avoid the deep, imagine the disaster then. That he did it fast enough or not, the good direction or not, it’s not important at this point, the ship will not float, what matters is why he abandoned ship so fast (to early for the real reasons), as I love to analyze behaviors to form correlations, one of the most powerful tool of the brain for reasoning impartially.
Francesco Schettino, you couldn’t hit water even if you fell from a boat
Human Behavior – The Ladies
When we think about human behavior as a whole, we can clearly observe in daily life how we react to banal things such as the opposite sex. It is so anchored in our DNA that no amount of education, prestige, religious belief or even the moment and seriousness of an affair, can sway away a human to behave like nature took its course to do.
However, does this link with nature explain why countless men cannot think and behave in front of people? Do I need to ask the women to hide themselves? Should I blame them for tempting my look and fantasize? Of course not, it’s all in our mind, because if you look, you imagine, if you imagine you may do, say or act inadequately, making you look at times as the men on these images and we have a laugh.
(Take note some images are not related to the topic but simply perfect pose for the topic, the rest it is what it is. lol )

When a Superstitious Mind Thinks Out Loud
Another grim Funny Edits, but hey! it’s all about that…
The other day when I opened my regular news webpage I read a few funny lines, and here are the 3 to keep in mind;
- “USA might be responsible for cancers affecting Latin American leaders”
- “Would it be strange if they had developed the technology to induce cancer?”
- “difficult to explain using the law of probabilities”
All these sentences were made by Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, a beautiful and capable country, north of Brazil in South America.
Nightfear – Feat. Obama
American People, Do Not See Their Work or Know Their Names
From a Canadian citizen to the world, a little memory of 2011, a moment to not forget just as much as 9/11, since it marks the year where the United States finally caught up to Osama Bin Laden and justice was served. This was not only an American affair but a world affair, as many nationalities lost their lives in the twin towers plane crash, fire and collapse. I underline this event my way, seriously and thoughtfully, because sometimes we do not have other ways to help or say thank you.
As for the Anti-Obama out there, using Obama’s voice is pure coincidence, as it could have been Bush, Clinton or Ron Paul if he was already in power and made similar speech, thus it is not about the messenger but simply the message. We have to give credit to Obama for his nice deep tone making it much more 21st century.

Boxing Day Collateral Damage
This time what makes the news by surprise is actually a murder reporting case in London, UK; on days supposedly sacred in a sense. Aren’t the vast majority still religious in England? Aren’t you all supposed to behave? What is wrong with you people? Why can’t there be respect? Why can’t these stores be prepared for such events? Why open doors like gates retaining animals? Why can’t there be a numbering system for these days alone? Why isn’t police presence augmented “seriously” enough to sway these possible actions? This is not something new, this has been going on for years now, so do not tell me no one saw it coming. The difference is that with years, people do start to realize how these days are in general, thus tension mounts each year naturally, as people start to go to these shopping sprees with a pre-winded mind.
In the United States same story, again a spike in violence, but what is new on this side of the continent? Not much, same old crap different year.
Here in Canada one of the worst things that happened is a bunch of shoppers got egged while waiting inline outside a store, most probably done by someone opposed to capitalism or other elements. Either case, it is still mean for any entity to act as such, it is stupid and above all has no meaning whatsoever. Instead, if you have a message, write it down, pass it on as flyers, some will read, some may give you right, but with these types of actions you go nowhere other than possibly jail. Technically speaking it is pure violence since an egg shell can actually render someone blind, are some of you that unintelligent? Oh Canada!
Welcome to Manhattan
This summer when we were coming back from Florida we side stepped towards New York. For me it was the first time I saw New York up close, and I was pleased and upset at the same time. It reminds me of my own Canadian city Montreal, where things are cold at look due to the ugly coloring of the bricks, broken roads and sidewalks, but above all extremely dirty and dilapidated at the WRONG place. With this funny edit I underline one of them.
After Thanksgiving – Shootings and Pepper-Spray Bonanza
I will not say much about what happened in the USA, for me, when it reaches the point where and entire nation see a spike in crime for a particular event, it says all.
You can argue me, hate me, but nothing changes that too many Americans are driven by objects.
Hand fight, shootings, knifing, and pepper spray all goes up on these days, but why? It’s not the media exceptionally reporting more on this day, it is the numbers with the police force that do all the talk, year after year. I feel sorry for the innocents near by.
Just imagine, some are ready to shoot and potentially kill for a discount?
You Eat – Ready For The Trip
I was suppose to upload this work in the month of October to underline October Fest and at the same time dedicate this Funny Edit to all submariners all around the world, past, present, future of all nationalities. But the work was longer to achieve, better late then never.
The image itself, and the way the elements are placed, emphasize the importance of long term preparation these men (also women in some navy’s) have to perform and endure while going on long sorties, peaceful time or not. Food, heath care, ammunitions and many other cargos must be accounted for or it may severely disrupt the mission. It is close to a ceremony in a sense when these ships leave port. But once out there, it is not easy to be inside a tube, breathing the same recycled air over and over again, where even the least claustrophobic person must at times remind themselves that all is good… the thought of an accident or enemy hit could result in little to no chance of escape, where everyday life resembles the one of a miner than a navy. Think about it… compared to other navy elements.
Side Note: The picture frame contains the picture of Wolfgang Lüth, an homage I do to him. He was probably one of the best submarine commanders of all time, in my eyes. Unfortunately he served the wrong cause, nevertheless you cannot strip away the talent and guts of one. – An Ace is an Ace.
