Victoria Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Billionaires have it rough these days. Manor homes, Castles, Yachts, even air balloons -- it's all been done, and in fact, OUTDONE! 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. Dunno. Just don't see Roman Abramovich in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
