[Heracles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_H.P.42#/media/File:L'_HP_45_G-AAXC_Heracles.jpg) flew from 1931 to 1940, when it was destroyed in a gale. By 1937, it had accumulated 1 million miles of service. >

They are great, but not with modern eyes looks more like Pokemon than dinosaurs, as they the science of what dinosaurs might have looked like hadn't exactly gotten very far. > > If you zoom in on the background, you can see a couple of the other statues. > > [Here's more on the Crystal Palace dinosaurs](https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/crystal-palace-dinosaurs.html) >
[The World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_The_World) isn't a regular cruise ship. It consists of 165 apartments mostly owned by residents. A few years back the apartment price was quoted as between $2m and $15m. I keep wondering how many guests are usually on the ship, given I assume most people who'd spend millions on a flat on a cruise ship probably have residences elsewhere too. Keep imagining it as a near ghost ship (which is not true of course - it has a crew of 280) and a monument to excess.
