Remember that $78 million in 2003 dollars is now, what, about $90+ million (inflation from 2003-2008 being somehwere in the 15%-16% range)?

So don't delay - order NOW!

Now we know where the donations for GWX 2.0 really went

Cheers,

LOL

I can assure you they went to the very worthy cause of supporting SUBSIM

I don't doubt it for a minute, but I couldn't resist.

I'm sure the subsim chaps would have been overjoyed at donations at that level.

Cheers,

Let's build our own!

You remember that small and crude sub built by smugglers?

We'll do much better 'cause we don't use drugs!

Mine iron, make steel, beat it into shape, tool it, make the pressure hull, weld it all together, install two diesels, two electric motors, propellers, line up all the old car batteries you can find, attach rudders and dive plans, install a couple of ballast tanks, compressors, a mic on the outer hull to use as a hydrophone, an old rocking chair and gramaphone in the command room for the kaleun (me!) and the rest of your old furniture for everyone else.................

.........did I miss something?

You just KNOW that the Columbian drug lords will be buying these things left and right.

On a side note, it's probably a DAMN GOOD THING that I and my friends never built that submarine that we were planning on making or we'd probably be dead. We used to live on Lake Champlain in Burlington VT. We had gotten these old metal drums and were going to weld them together and such (We used to build stuff like motorized go carts and stuff all the time).
Anyway.. luckily what prevented us from actually doing it was that we could figure out how to make it go down, but we were never able to figure out a way to make it come back up. :rotfl:
We actually spent MONTHS of spare time experimenting and trying to design the thing !!

Lucky for us.. the Hunley II as designed by a bunch of kids between the ages of 12 and 13 never set sail and we're all still alive today.

Personally, I'm considering buying 2.

Okay.. here's the plan..
We charge everyone $10 a month to post on Subsim. That money goes into the Pheonix 1000 fund ! Then.. when we have enough.. we all buy the thing. It's co-owned by all of us...
THEN we go about getting our money back by taking rich people out on undersea tours and trips with it ! It's a money makeing machine !!!!
