Duh, Dad!

We were driving across 526 the other day and Nathan noticed a big ship in the river and started asking if it was as big as the Titanic. After some discussion about the size of the ship, he then started telling us the "true" story of 2 guys on the Titanic who were "lucky" because they were in the swimming pool when it got hit and were already in the swimsuits and didn't have to get their real clothes wet. (Not sure where this story came from!) I mentioned that since the water was so cold that they probably would have been better off with clothes on. This led Dave to say that most people died because the water was so cold. After I mentioned the fact that the lifeboats didn't return either, Dave had an epiphany. He stated that if the water had not been cold, not many people would have died. I didn't think too much about this statement, but Nathan in a moment of, Dad, duh, said that if the water had not been cold then noone would have died because there would have been no iceberg! Dave did not have a answer for this :)
