In what year did the Titanic sink? 

10 Points
The sinking of SS Titanic, 14 April 1912. An artist's impression of the ship going down. Operated by the White Star Line, on 14 April 1912 SS Titanic struck an iceberg in thick fog off Newfoundland. She was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, and thought to be unsinkable. In the collision five of her watertight compartments were compromised and she sank. Out of the 2228 people on board, only 705 survived. A major cause of the loss of life was the insufficient number of lifeboats she carried.

Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.

What debates arise from this classic movie?

Many debates have emerged from James Cameron's masterpiece. Made two and a half decades ago, at least at the time of writing, Rose's privilege when she says, "to me, it was a slave ship - taking me back to America in chains" raises eyebrows in the 21st century. People also wonder about the Birkenhead Drill. This code of conduct saw only 20% of men on the ship saved, compared to 52% of the children and 74% of the women. Today, with enough lifeboats on ships, this is less of an issue. But the consensus that vulnerable people such as children, the ill, and the elderly get help first during disaster evacuations is the ethical norm. No question is more popular than whether Jack had to die and whether he could have fit on the door with Rose. According to James Cameron, Jack had to RIP for the movie to be good. As for the door, it might have looked large enough, but with two people on it, it would have sunk.
