The humongous ship in the Suez Canal is now a meme – our 17 favourites
It’s been three days now, and the 400-metre-long Ever Given container ship has defied all efforts to move it – though, in fairness, those efforts only seem to have involved a few tugs and a tiny excavator.
The jokes just keep coming.
