Cyber dive to explore the Titanic

Ever since it sank on April 15, 1912, the Titanic has been a source of fascination. The ship’s remains have been explored in countless missions.
Now, anyone curious can go to www.expeditiontitanic.com for their own exploration at 3,280 metres below sea level. Along with information and history, the site contains pictures and video.
The dive is depicted thanks to a complicated Flash function, which is not kind to computers with slow Internet connections. All texts are in English.
If none of that is a problem, then there’s not only a historical, but a diving, adventure beckoning.

Men can’t pick their clothes?
London: Many may disagree on this, but a new survey has found that most men can’t pick clothes, in fact, they rely on women, their wife or mother for advice on what dress to buy.
According to the survey in Britain, almost two-thirds of the respondents admitted to seeking guidance from a woman when shopping in menswear stores. And 48 per cent allow their better halves to choose or even buy their clothes.
The survey of more than 1,000 men was carried out across the country by VisitBirmingham.com.
Menswear designer Neil Fennell was quoted by the Daily Express as saying, “Men find it intimidating because they don’t always know what they are looking for or what will complement their shape.”
