Explore the deepest oceans....

Quote:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, known for such exploits as trying to balloon around the world, said on Tuesday he planned to explore the deepest parts of the world's oceans with a jet-like submarine.
The 18-foot (5-1/2 meter) vessel is capable of descents of more than 36,000 feet below the surface, said Branson at a news conference in Newport Beach, California.

I would say the same. My interest would be to see the wrecks, etc. Not so much sea life althought that would be extremely interesting as well.

For me it's the reverse, exploring shipwrecks would be interesting and fun, but the thought of discovering what lives down in the blue is very exciting to me. Dunno if I'll ever get the chance to do something like that, but if I just once got to ride down and take a peek, I could die a happy fellow.

What is cool mookie is he does dream these things up! The very rich do a few things with their dollars:

1. Charity
2. Hoard
3. Dream up outlandish things to do
4. Dream up outlandish things to do for humanity
5. Blow it on the "Goddesses" and drugs. :88)
6. Collect things of interest to them.

Some do all 6. :doh:
