Who's the king of the world now?

An Australian billionaire said earlier this week he'll build a high-tech replica of the Titanic at a Chinese shipyard and its maiden voyage in late 2016 will be from England to New York, just like its namesake planned. Weeks after the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the original Titanic, Clive Palmer announced he has signed a memorandum of understanding with state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard to build the Titanic II. According to Palmer, it will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic, but it will have state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems. But I know several things it should have, starting with enough lifeboats for everyone on board just in case it too encounters an iceberg. They could also build a huge KFC or Starbucks which takes up an entire floor, or maybe a banner with the words FREE TIBET or DEMOCRACY FOR CHINA in huge letters.
