This is the New Bedford’s Seaman’s Bethel in Massachusetts. If you are wondering the connection with the ship, it has to deal with Herman Melville. You can read more about it on the National Park Service website.
Here’s a picture of a wedding taking place in the chapel with the pastor in the boat.

Bag of Randomness for Wednesday, July 1, 2015
- This article was sent to me with the following text, “Having Hard8 as #2 already casts doubt on the evaluator.” – Best Barbecue Joints In The Mid- Cities – I like the idea of getting a free BBQ sandwich at Bartley’s by simply sending a text.
- I kept seeing this Click Hole article, which was posted earlier this year, pop all over the Internet yesterday – 7 Hacks To Get The Most Out Of Your Chipotle Order – I’m not going to give any of them a try because it’s from Click Hole, which is an offshoot of The Onion. For instance, if I order a burrito and just eat the inside, I can go back and get a burrito refill for free? It also states if you say “This one’s on Clooney” it will go to his tab, and, of course, that’s an urban legend proven to be false.
- I ran across an Ask Reddit thread about fan theories, two stuck out:
- Sean Connery reprises his role as James Bond in the movie “The Rock” also starring Nicolas Cage. The movie is better this way. It’s a bond film.
- In the Haunted Mansion at Disney World/Disneyland, “you” commit suicide during the course of the ride and become a ghost.At the beginning of the ride the ghost host (the narrator) says the only way to escape the mansion is to die, and he shows that he hanged himself. Near the end of the ride there’s a moment where the ride vehicle turns around backwards and you go off a balcony, which according to this theory represents you jumping to your death.Before this part of the ride the ghosts are all trying to scare you, but afterwards they sing excitedly and invite you to party with them. (The Grim Grinnin’ Ghosts song.) The only human character in the ride, a groundskeeper, appears after the balcony drop. He faces toward the riders and seems terrified of you.Could be totally accidental, could be an intentional subtlety by the designers, but either way I’ve never looked at that ride the same way again.

- Six Flags Over Texas started distancing from the Confederate battle flag decades ago – The park does fly the Confederate flag, but it uses the lesser-known first national flag of the Confederacy. Texas is represented as one of seven stars that form a circle in the upper left corner of that flag . . . the first Confederate national flag was chosen by the park since it was one of the six displayed on Texas’ state seal. – For you LiberallyLean.com readers, the article mentions a Barry Green, but it’s not that Barry Green.

- Senator Ted Cruz wrote the following piece for Politico, actually it’s an excerpt from his book – From Doubles Tennis to Internet Porn: My Year as a Supreme Court Clerk – That first paragraph will get your attention, he knows how to capture a reader’s attention. Interestingly, he mentions that Justice Clarence Thomas is a Cowboys fan and added this tidbit, “Thomas had a framed picture of himself with quarterback Troy Aikman in his office.”
