Billionaires have it rough these days. Manor homes, Castles, Yachts, even air balloons -- it's all been done, and in fact, OUTDONE! :o

So guess what has been the latest trend in kajillionaire testosterone-driven acquisitiveness?

SUBMARINES!

French

English

"CNN is carrying a story on the gemini three-person submersible. 'Forget the yacht, mansion and private jet. This is Gemini, the family submarine described by inventor Robert Leeds as the world's first underwater sports car.' However, the submarine only goes about five knots, so speed is not its primary focus. It can handle three people for three days at depths of up to 50 meters. Not quite a James Bond sub-car, but cool nonetheless. The official site has lots of pictures." -- Slashdot

This is one of the examples shown on that site, via Slashdot.

Did you see those crazies with their hand-powered revolutionary war-era sub in New York the other week? Great thinking guys! :rolleyes:

Remember the Housatonic!!

...not quite as catchy as the Maine, I grant you, but then I'm no William Randolph Hearst.
