Cruise ship.. just like Gilligan's Island.

The report came out today of the stranded cruise ship Splendor stuck of the California coastline. The passengers said it was just like being on Gilligan's Island because the food tasted like 'feces', the passengers were corralled on the decks, and had no access to toilets.

Now that doesn't make me jump to the conclusion that the ship was just like Gilligan's Island, but a little more research revealed the following.

Right before the fire, the captain was calling his second mate little buddy, but just after the fire, the captain took off his hat, and slapped his second mate in the head.
The coast guard were contact by a strange contraption that consisted of an exercise bike, two coconuts, and bamboo pole.
For the 5 days that the ship was stranded, they kept getting strange visitors, including a mad German scientist, a large gorilla, and a famous movie director.  Alas, none of the visitors kept their promise to get help.

After 5 days, the cruise ship was towed back to port.  Strangely, to celebrate the rescue, the entire cruise ship hired another cruise ship, and haven't been seen off since.
