Let's buy it, FReepers. A few FReepathons that are goal-specific, along with a Rush Limbaugh style bake sale ought to do it.

Think of the possibilities. An educational tool, a movie set, and a potential "freedom platform" should certain forces try anything nefarious ;-)

You couldn't trade 100 shares of GM stock for a '77 Chevette with bald tires and a cracked block.

What does whale poop and Soviet submarines have in common? They both have a tendency to end up at the bottom of the ocean.

5.56mm

Maybe someday we will be able to tell sea stories about that Juliet, but that day is not yet here.

We could cruise on down to Gitmo and do some "prisoner transfer."

Well sure, but this is an old soviet conventional sub that spent 15 months at the bottom of the river. $366 or 100 shares of GM ($3.66 at today's close) might be about right.
