Yeah, stay away from those glitch whirlpools. In fact if you see one. Log out and back in to fix it. Both eLzar and I lost our lives in the mess. I lost all of my gear too, never to be recovered. Weird things happen when you fall in. I think eLzar drown. I was killed by unknown damage.
The three hour cactus hunt was pretty epic. I learned a lot about minecraft cruising with O Rugs. Epic tour. I had no idea the world was so huge. We spent three hours traveling during the days, generally in one direction, and never reached world's end. Very cool.
