The SS Warrimoo, a passenger steamship traveling from Vancouver to Australia, was silently knifing its way across the mid-Pacific waters. The navigator had just finished calculating a star fix and handed the results to Captain John DS. Phillips.
The Warrimoo's coordinates were LAT 0º 31' N, LONG 179 30' W. The date was December 31, 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton announced, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line."
Captain Phillips was prankish enough to seize the opportunity to do the nautical feat of a lifetime. He summoned his navigators to the bridge to double-check the ship's position. He altered his course slightly to focus directly on his target. He then altered the engine's speed.
The calm weather and clear night worked to his advantage. At midnight, the SS Warrimoo rested on the Equator, exactly where it had crossed the International Date Line. The ramifications of this odd arrangement were numerous.
The ship's bow was in the Southern Hemisphere, in the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere, in the midst of winter. The date on the aft portion of the ship was December 31, 1899. The date on the forward half of the ship was January 1, 1900. The ship experienced multiple days, months, years, seasons, and centuries simultaneously.
I feel like phrases used to describe me could be used as life lessons
"sometimes she'll slap you in the face even if you didn't do anything, you could either deal with it or slap her back and if she runs away get up and chase her"
"sometimes she makes sense and sometimes she doesn't, and if you don't get it it's probably not that important for you"
"she can be crazy sometimes, but other times it seems like she makes more sense than anything else"
"if she's focused on you is because you have her respect"
"the best way to get her to trust you is by being nice"
"sometimes she'll go fast, but never too fast that you can't catch up"
Etc
Now just replace she and her with it and you got life advice
