Default 525 feet is weak...

There is a new world's largest yacht afloat.

According to industry experts, the Eclipse has been specifically designed to overshadow the world's current largest private yacht, a 525-footer owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.


I'll take two please...

my dad's seen the 525 footer up close when the dude's son was out deep sea fishing and his dad called him up and told him to get his ass back home because he had to do some horse riding training or some shit. He came aboard one of the rigs my dad managed and borrowed his heli to get back home.

How the other half lives:

Kid #1: Dude, I gotta go home, Dad's pissed, I'm late for riding lessons.

Kid #2: That sucks dude, take my heli, I'll get it from you later.

It more went like this.

Kid: I am taking your heli, you may get it back eventually.

Dad: Err....

My dad's heli was Conoco's. It's for inspecting the other rigs in the area and rescue missions if needed. Wasn't really a luxury copter.

The son of Jewish parents, Abramovich began his business career selling plastic ducks from a grim Moscow apartment but, within a few years, his vast wealth spread from oil conglomerates to pig farms.

Russia's richest man has flourished under president Vladimir Putin, with critics saying he used his government ties to take over former state-owned assests and reap the profits for personal use.
Subtle...but it's there.

I hereby stamp this article anti-Semitic.

There is absolutely no need to mention his religion in this article and too to structure it the way the writer did easily links this guy to common European stereotypes of Jews.


Points also deducted for misspelled words in the article.


(this hereby meets my weekly quota of bitching about nothing)

On a side note, I was just daydreaming a bit.
Imagining the submarine departing from the boat.

I thought that fish and whales watching this thing would think that the boat is taking a massive shit.
