Fun at work  
So i was transcribing the latest TWiT (This Week in Tech) podcast for work. They're talking about Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, nd a guest says the following:

"I think it was Bill Gates’ wedding. There was a bunch of Richie Riches that brought their yachts to the harbor on Lanai where Bill Gates got married. And all the yachts were lined up. And apparently, someone else’s yacht was a foot and a half longer than Paul Allen’s. He put it into drydock and added three feet."

If I ever get really, really rich and start doing stuff like that, I expect you guys to come find me, and shoot me in the head.

Hasn't Paul Allen been in some sort of running competition with one of those crazy Russian oil magnet/mobster dudes to have the biggest yacht?

I wouldn't be remotely surprised. He already owns the world's biggest "yacht", which is more like an ocean liner:
