But can it hold 2 of every species of animal on the planet ?

Ultimately I plan to buy a super-tanker and fill it with Vodka and travel all around the world having free port parties.

Humm, 25 seconds to about 30 seconds or so it looks like the flood the bottom level with sea water and tug it out, then bring it back in. Wouldn't all that salt-water be bad ju-ju long term? Or am I seeing it incorrectly?

I'm sure they have hoses once it's back in the dry dock.

Plus ships take on salt water to use as ballast, so they'll have salt-water protection. Anti ju-ju devices like galvanic anodes and whatnot I'd guess.

I was all ready to answer you with a sarcastic comment like "what do you think this ship will be floating in for the next few years?"

Then I read this: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.06/superrust_pr.html

...and I decided it wasn't all that funny.
