Wesley DeMott, Florida Boater, Rescued By Carnival Cruise Ship (VIDEO)

When three Florida men set off for Mexico to meet their wives on Thursday, they probably didn't know that the adventure would turn into a nightmare. Their small boat became disabled and nearly capsized due to high winds and waves roughly 30 miles north of Cuba. Luckily, a Carnival cruise ship was in the area and came to their rescue, according to USA Today.

The Carnival Valor saved the three men, including fiction writer Wesley DeMott, as well as his cat, from the boat (which was also a home) over the weekend.

The kicker? DeMott's latest book is about a man who is rescued at sea by a cruise ship.

Mr. Rogers was a minion of Satan. My sisters and I agree, and many people I've talked to agreed that he creeped them out.

this is me.

Cool. The entire thing can be a business deduction, research.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

character shoes are simple heels, usually black or flesh tones, used for dance and stage work. very comfortable, but as someone else noted with soft leather soles so not super durable outdoors.

I lost my phone last week (TRAUMA!) and my new one is due to be delivered today and I'm totally paranoid after the UPS horror stories.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It was a huge comfort back when I worked for the Presbyterian Church that our most prominent public figure was famous for teaching kids to tie their sneakers instead of embezzling church funds or getting caught with hookers.

Christopher Walken/zombie/metal tee

This tee ($25+$5S&H) pays tribute to zombies, Christopher Walken, and the golden age of heavy metal tees all at once. All it wants is an umlaut for utter sartorial perfection.

I just love that zombie!Walken is holding a cowbell!
