Story time kids…

So yesterday I told my Dad that I finished watching The Umbrella Academy because he had suggested to me that I watch it. And then he was like “oh cool!” And I was like “hell yeah!” And then he was like “you know the guy who wrote it is Gerard Way, right.” And I was like “yeah”…and then he dropped this bomb.

So apparently my dad went to an art college in New York for a semester and while there he was friends with GERARD FREAKING WAY. Apparently they were pretty close and they went to raves and stuff together. So last night my dad got out a box of his old stuff and we found a short comic Gerard made and a note he gave my dad before he left that school.

I’m not going to show the letter bc it’s probably personal but here is this…

i know there’s the joke that as kids we thought that the bermuda triangle and quicksand were way more serious than they actually are but you know what else i thought was a notable danger? whirlpools. i thought they just kind of popped up in the ocean randomly and sucked down giant ships to the bottom of the ocean and it was a big problem.

do you know how many recorded cases there have been of whirlpools sucking down large ships? zero. it’s never fucking happened in real life.

what i thought whirlpools were like

vs the actual third largest whirlpool in the world

That’s the Gulf of Corryvreckan off the coast of Scotland. Granted, it doesn’t look as impressive as the whirlpools we imagined as kids. However, it’s just as deadly.

A documentary team from Scottish independent producers Northlight Productions once threw a mannequin into the Corryvreckan (“the Hag”) with a life jacket and depth gauge. The mannequin was swallowed and spat up far down current with a depth gauge reading of 262 feet with evidence of being dragged along the bottom for a great distance. The programme was transmitted in the UK by Channel 4 under the title “Lethal Seas”, while in the US on the Discovery Channel (the co-production partner) it was known as “Sea Twister!”
