If he's having it built in China, he's pretty much ensured that Titanic II, Electric Boogaloo will end up the same way as Titanic 1. With that cheap Chinese steel and notorious corruption, it'll probably sink before it even makes it out of the harbor, too. :rotfl2:

I must confess that was my first thought too, it'll be an ice cube, not an iceberg that sinks her this time...

Yes it is a real place, and also a WW2 admiral had a similar name, so I can't say a word. Besides, sometimes when it's a real sign and not a bad joke, it really is funny.

Liar liar pants on fire! I posted that before you even found the link.

Of course I posted that it was a ship and not a man, and changed it afterward, but still... :O:
