Texas barge capsizes as passengers rush to gawk at....

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Revelers who crowded to one side of a barge to check out some nude sunbathers during "Splash Day" wound up splashing in the water when the craft tipped over.

Witnesses said that all of the people aboard the barge moved to one side after it was tied up at Hippie Hollow, the only public nude beach in Texas, creating uneven distribution and making it tilt.

Everybody was safe.

Poetic fulfillment?

Afterall, it sounds like the passengers "needed a cold shower", so the best the universe could provide at the moment was a cold dunk.

LOL, so they got what they needed? if not what they wanted.
