The billionaire Russian owner of Chelsea football club, Roman Abramovich, has ordered an Airbus A380, the world's biggest airliner, for use as his private jet, a report said Wednesday.

If it doesn't have a death ray, I'm still not impressed.

Let him have his Europlane. I intend to order a custom Boeing Blended-Wing Body airliner (the 797?) as soon as it becomes available. Mine will have the ABL nose-mounted laser cannon, detachable mini-fighter, and the upper-deck, food-producing BioDome options.

Did I mention the Orgy Pod?

Seriously: Why do Russians wear those ugly-ass track suits?

If you put in the laser anti missle system from the USAF ABL system normally installed in a 747-400F, it would take up most of the floor space of the A380. Also, it would cut down on the range an payload. He'd have to cut out amenities from the rest of the plane.
