Well it's still "funny" because I made a news on Michelin this morning since they launched a campaign "ecology and economy" ... otherwise I would obviously not have relayed this info ...

Chirac spoke: "The industry is in mourning"
As long as it was not a submarine that hit the boat, because the sea was calm in the breeze ...
The fact remains that there is immediate research to locate the boat.
I do not remember so much eagerness, when it was a trawler with some missing men on board ...
This is still a counter ad for Michelin! Think:
"Bibendum, the Michelin man drowned"
Not even, an inner tube in your pocket, to serve as a buoy ...
