Nine months adrift, for goodness sake. That's beyond comprehension! What an incredible tale of survival!

Three Mexican fishermen who spent about nine months drifting across the Pacific Ocean have been rescued. The three men said they survived on rain water, sea birds and fish after the engine on their eight-metre (25ft) boat broke down.

"We ate raw seagulls, ducks and fish. We ate everything raw - any fish that came near the boat we grabbed it and gulped it down," [one of the survivors] said in an interview late Tuesday.

But he said there may have been five men on board when the boat set out...

Wonder how quickly a studio snaps up the film rights?

It said three in the Daily Telegraph. Shall we settle on 6?
