I have a recording of one of Sinatra and Dean Martin's performances, and when they're goofing around it's easy to pick out her --- distinctive --- laugh from the audience!
I've heard of the No Pope one, as well as a rumor that the Titanic hadn't been properly christened. That bit about the mummy is new to me and would make a great novel/movie, I think..
It'd make an interesting added horror variation to the story anyway!
Personally I think it just hit an iceberg and sank. Seems to fit the facts.... Although I do think you can date the fall of Western Civilisation from that event... Probably..
I think it was the beginning. A loss of faith in the future, a shock to the system, a reality check. We'd probably have learnt from it and gone on to greater things but 2 years later we had WW1. We never really recovered from that catastrophe...... The Titanic was the stumble. WW1 was the knockout blow.

Thanks for that. I'd heard of most of them except the two nonsensical ones:
Titanic‘s Hull Number Spelled Out ‘No Pope’
The Mummy Of Amen-Ra...
What the what now.....??? [lol]

Mummies on a Boat?

To that event? Why not...say, the mobilization of European armies for The Great War?
