Never Forget.....

Large numbers of whom were would-be immigrants.  Of the Third-Class passengers on Titanic, 387 out of 462 men died; 89 out of 165 women; 52 of 79 children.*  "And some, I assume, were good people."

Still, it's anti-Semitic to blame the ice for the sinking (Iceberg — Goldberg; what's the difference?). 

* Numbers taken from Walter Lord's The Night Lives On, 1986.

One's ice, the other is gold?

Goldbergs are only made of gold if they've been "Midas-ized."  And, proving that Congress-creatures haven't changed much in over a century, one of those participating in hearings on the loss of Titanic asked for an explanation of what made up icebergs.  It seems he couldn't believe mere ice could've opened up a steel hull.

Well it only stands to reason, chilled lakes can't break steel plates!

(Even if they totally can, actually. But that's not what happens in the ice crusher for his mixed drinks...)

One's more convoluted than the other.
