They forgot "getting yer missus pregnant"; I'm sure that ends up costing a lot more than any of these, I swear my kids are burning banknotes in a secret kiln or something!

As for the link, I find it kind of unfortunate that loss of human life wasn't even considered.
----------------------------------------------------

I approved and processed the link. I guarentee you, the loss of human life was my first thought. However, I also feel an obligation to the original poster of the link and I try not to change their wording where possible!

Trust me...those on IAB who know me, know I value human life above all else!

LOL, sorry guys but I'm not going to entertain by turning into Super-Knowitall-Wanker (for once!).

I was thinking of the physical states (liquid/gas being exclusive) - Crakrjak's second explanation is very probably right, it never occurred to be that it's an American website so they probably meant "liquid gas" as in "liquid gasoline".

And indeed Almighty, the Titanic was built in my own home town of Belfast. Not exactly our finest claim to fame!

Maddog:

I'm kind of confused as well, but I think it has something to do with the fact that Davy works for the oil industry...

*also sits back, only with a soda instead of popcorn because he just ate*

#3 kinda pissed me off as I read it.
So they were turned down by everyone to eventually split apart in the sea? Nice going Spain, France, and Portugal.
Course, I wouldn't know the ways of doing things in that sort of situation...

And also...head-on train collision? But...buh...what?

davymid: I think they meant Liquified Natural Gas. Similar to propane, It's under a lot of pressure. It's sort of confusing since we Americans call Gasoline (or petrol for our European friends) "Gas".

"p.s. What the feck is "liquid gas" referred to in the Piper Alpha post? They're kinda mutually exclusive..."

It's natural gas as it is known when it is extracted (as opposed to oil) which is liquid through pressure, so whilst it is not a gas, we still call it gas because we like messing with your heads.

"One plane costs 1.4 billion?
Sounds like a waste of money to me"

Nice catch Crakr. And the Mars lander just missed out (quick spot of googling comes up with figure of $125 Million, just below the Titanic).

Now if the list were not "Most Expensive", but rather "Most Retarded", the Mars Lander would certainly be in there. Considering the programmed part of the data in feet and part in meters... D'oh!

p.s. What the feck is "liquid gas" referred to in the Piper Alpha post? They're kinda mutually exclusive...

I don't things that the tax payers have to pay for should be included, because they just take our money and build another one. It not real money to them.

"im going to guess the mars one will be on here.
Ok nope, it wasnt"

I was thinking the exact same thing.
