Sorry I got into this late, but about 6 months ago Slashdot had a thing
about a Brazilian aircraft carrier for sale. I passed it around the 
local "think tank" and we came up with the idea of converting it into
a floating hotel specificaly for "geeks". 

It even got as far as a 3 page business plan. 

It's obvious that I will not have the time and or money to persue it, If
anyone is interested I'd gladly mail it to them under the condition that
they did not publicize it, which is why I don't want to post it.

However, if it is interesting enough for someone to use as the start
of a business, or a comedy routine or whatever, you're welcome to it.
I just ask that if you are asked where it came from, you mention my
name.

Geoff.
