I'm not making this up, honest!
A Chinese coal carrier ran aground on the Barrier Reef - it was way of course, and the crew is in custody possibly facing criminal charges. There was a large oil spill which is being cleaned up. This morning the ship was freed by Tugs. The news had a salvage representative saying "It's off the reef, but we're not out of the trees yet"
I nearly choked laughing....

Ok boys. Let's get this ship off the reef!
Tug! Pull! Heave!
Pop! Fling! (Ship goes flying thru the air, landing inland...)
