Gloriously Irreverent Headline Of The Day

The Soaraway Sun's headline(s) above the story about Cornish people worrying about getting their feet wet:

Land's End of world as we know it
Ooh Arr-pocalypse* Now... Cornish tsunami fears

* The headline in the paper version was "Ooh Arr-mageddon", which I thought was better.

UPDATE: Mark in Mayenne submits "Ooh arr-mageddon my feet wet" and wins this round.

"Japanese village washes up on Oregon beach"

From The Australian:

An entire village cast adrift by Japan's killer tsunami has washed up on an Oregon beach 15 months later, among the biggest pieces of flotsam to make landfall on the US West Coast so far.

The 20-acre town, made of wood, bricks, concrete and metal, was spotted floating off the coast and then washed in with the high tide on Agate beach, 160 kilometres southwest of Portland. The two hundred villagers appeared undernourished but otherwise in good spirits, having lived off radioactive tuna fish and rigged up a basic desalination plant during their perilous journey.

Local authorities contacted the Japanese consulate in Portland, who confirmed that it was from the March 11, 2011 tsunami, thrown up by a massive earthquake off Japan's coast 8800 km across the Pacific.

"Several villages were were washed away by the tsunami. This is one of them," deputy consul general Hirofumi Murabayashi said. "The others, we don't know where they are, if they're floating somewhere or they sank in the ocean or not," he added.
