Couple doing the wild thing on balcony of cruise ship fall overboard and wait 4 hours for rescue!

They seem to be OK...but a bit embarassed, I'm sure.

The 22-year-old man and 20-year-old woman apparently fell from a passenger's cabin balcony on the Grand Princess about eight hours after the cruise ship left the Galveston port, said Julie Benson, spokeswoman for Princess Cruises.

"When alerted to this, the ship stopped, initiated an emergency search operation, and returned to the position where the overboard incident was initially reported," Benson said, adding that the ship turned around and headed back within 10 minutes of getting word.

As rescuers hoisted up the life boat, Shaw said, he and others "saw the man in the water" and he was "yelling and waving to us."

Coast guard officials "found the man nude in the water but he was then clothed and is now on the ship's deck in a wheelchair," Shaw said.

Hmm, let's see here. 20-something couple on a cruise. Fall off the balcony...guy is reported to be NUDE when they find him. Strange they don't mention the woman's clothing state.

I WONDER what they were doing?

I was watching the news yesterday and they had a story about some overweight guy who fell off of a cruise ship in his boxers. Apparently, he survived in the water because fat is more dense than water, or something like that. Basically, the guy could float naturally.

if fat was more dense than water, he would have sunk to the bottom. it must have been the other way around.
