Titanic II: Aussie mogul building new one in China


Another Titanic will soon set sail. Before you ask why anyone would do it, you should know that this Australian billionaire thinks it will be a commercial success.

Clive Palmer, along with CSC Jinling, a Chinese shipbuilding company, are recreating an exact replica of the doomed ship that hit an iceberg and sank a century ago in the North Atlantic. Of course, the new one will have much more advanced equipment that will prevent such another disaster. 

Plans call for the new Titanic to be taking its first voyage in 2016. If you’re daring enough to be a passenger aboard the history-making event, keep checking the schedule with your favorite hometown and/or online travel agency.

Here's a great tip to get that primo hotel room.  When checking in, after you've been assigned a room, tell the clerk:

"Don't give me that room.  Please give me the room you were gonna give me when I came down later and complained about the first room"

Works almost every time.  So does a $20.00 discreetly passed to the desk clerk while checking in.  In many cases, that $20. buys you a room worth hundreds more than what you're paying.
