    I could see Wonder Woman having a receptionist there.

    Somehow though, I could also picture the Johnny Depp rendition of Willy Wonka sleeping there too. #cocoonheadquarters

    Yeah, that's real fine expensive gear you brought out here, Mr. Ellison. 'Course I don't know what that bastard shark's gonna do with it, might eat it I suppose. Seen one eat a rockin' chair one time. #larryellison

    Yeah, Ellison's spot-on when he said that it was a "minor setback." Those professional racers have pit crews loaded with replacement parts at every single port of call they make, every leg of every race. A broken mast will kill their chances of winning a leg, but those two reserves are waiting quietly for the Oracle boat to pull into harbor.

    You want to see some catastrophic yacht racing damage? Check out some of the footage of this year's Volvo Ocean Race. Nothin' like replacing an exploded rudder, in the middle of a freezing ocean, getting dunked in the drink!

    Well, since price is part of design, there's one knock against it, but for a second one, how about the little pointy nub that will be poking into your lower back for the entire time you're wearing it. Sure, you could get some poultry shears and snip that thing off, but for $300US, I'd want that taken care of beforehand. Just sayin'. #

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: I bought some $10 mast the other day. The guy had some in the back of a white van and was telling me it was a killer deal. I now have five and no idea what to do with them. I guess if the going rate on them is $10 million, I could sell a few of them. #larryellison

    In reply to Matte Black Earthrace Power Boat Hunts Those Who Hunt Whales
    I would imagine the Earthrace is going to be deployed as a tracking vessel. In past seasons, keeping up with the whaling vessels has always been a problem for the Steve Irwin. As has staying at sea for as long as they'd like: They have to leave the processing vessel if they are low on fuel and supplies. So Earthrace could be very useful to the Sea Shepherds simply by keeping tabs on the locations of the whaling vessels when the Steve Irwin can't keep up or isn't able to be there.

    But then there is the fact that Earthrace is a composite hull. The minute ice enters the equation, Earthrace is out of the equation.

    It looks cool though. Maybe it will scare the Japanese away. It reallly lookalike a Batboat with the new paint. #boats

    There's an artist by the name of Space Invader who has been doing 8-bit Rubik's Cube art and tile art since the 1990s. He's done the "here's Johnny'' scene from the Shining, Abbey Road, and quite a few others.
