    		"The top price spot is actually a tie at $68 million between Oracle founder Larry Ellison's 244-foot Katana and the 262-foot Constellation. Ellison picked up this gem from the estate of the late Mexican media tycoon Emilio Azcarraga."

    		Actually, it's not as I know the asking price for the boat I am talking about is over $90 million.

    		I'll "see" your $120 million and raise you $20 million:

    The world's most expensive privately-owned yacht is being built in Genoa, Italy, the Sunday Telegraph reports. Known only as 'Hull 6154', the yacht measures 438ft, with seven decks, two helicopter pads and storage space for a submarine, and boasts a record-breaking price tag of £140 million.

    The owner of the yacht, due for completion in 2010, is as yet unknown, but sources say that it is a Russian billionaire. However, Roman Abramovich, the Russian owner of Chelsea Football club who already has four yachts to his name, has been ruled out.

    Which yacht finished last in the 2002 Sydney-Hobart yacht race?

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.

    Just watching a film on TV and there is a tall masted yacht miles out at sea in a storm with lightning striking close by. Given that they tend to be made of materials that, unlike a car, offer no Faraday cage protection, what is best practise in this event? Stay on deck, go below, get in the water, get in a dinghy tied to the yacht but quite a distance away, or something else?
