The world's largest yacht is also the world's most expensive, with an estimated cost of $1.2 billion. It is owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, and was delivered to him on December 9, 2010 by it's builders Blohm & Voss from Hamburg, Germany. It is just a little over a foot longer than the 2nd largest yacht owned by the Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai.
So what kind of boat do you get for that much cheese? "The Eclipse". A 536 foot powered island with 2 helicopter pads, 24 guest cabins, 2 swimming pools, many hot tubs, a disco hall (disco?), 3 launch boats, a mini-submarine, a state of the art intruder detection system, a missile defense system, bullet-proof glass, armor plated walls, and a crew of 70 people to run the thing.
Seems a bit much for something you won't spend much time in. I mean who travels by boat these days? Hello. But I guess if you're as rich as Mr. Abramovich then hell, throw in a mall too.
I was googling around for fart pics today to add to a recent section called Getting to Know Your Farts", when I came upon a particularly gifted farter who makes a living by passing gas on huge crowds of people. WELL HOT JAM! Sounds like the kind of job you'ld be into eh?
The man's (yes it's a dude) name is Konrad Stockel. I'm going to assume his stage name is "Fat King Konrad", because it's in the web adress. Mr. Stockel is from Hamburg, Germany. Hmmm. I'm not even going to say it. Anyhoo... On his website http://fatkingkonrad.de/ Mr. Stockel describes himself as such:
"First of all I am an entertainer. Throughout my different shows you may experience a unique mixture made of curiosity, magic, comedy, and the art of presenting."
Now you smell it...now you don't? Fat King Konrad, aka F.K.K. has peformed for CBS and Comedy Central, as well as some other German television stations like "ARD " and "2DF". (You're thinking of fart jokes right now aren't you?) His list of sponsors is quite impressive. They include: Minolta, Shellane, VolksWagon, Panasonic, Konami, Mercedes-Benz, and some other brands no one has ever heard of. What a gas.
So, remember this kids. If you have a dream, no matter how crazy it might seem to others, go for it. One day you could be up on that stage entertaining crowds of drunk college students. Believe in yourself, follow your gut, and listen to your butt.
