Sending This Candle To a Watery Grave Is a Beautiful Way To Remember the Titanic

Sending This Candle To a Watery Grave Is a Beautiful Way To Remember the TitanicHaha, remember when that giant ocean liner sank taking the lives of over 1,500 people? It's a good thing come April that will have happened 100 years ago because that makes it ok to sell tacky novelty tie-in products. Right? Right?

Once you light the four wicks extending from each of the wax Titanic's stacks it will burn for around 10 hours, recreating the long ordeal of the infamous ocean liner as it slowly took on water and eventually sank. While the real Titanic was done-in by an iceberg, the object lesson with this $20 12-inch version is the same: traveling by boat instead of plane is stupid. [Design3000 via 7Gadgets]
