(AP) -- Real estate is often a long-term investment. But 10,000 years? Lo'ihi Development Co. will soon start offering oceanview lots speculators
won't even be able to stand on for many millennia. That's because they're currently submerged more than 3,000 feet below sea level - on an
underwater volcano called Lo'ihi, located about 20 miles southeast of the Big Island.

I was gonna post this in the Fragile Earth forum....but for some reason I felt it was more appropriate here....
This is nuts. Like 10000 years from now the "deeds" to this land are gonna be valid.

The Web site advertises, "Lo'ihi Seaview Estates: Real Estate for the Future. Grand Water View Front Lots." A photo of the sales office is a
raft in the middle of the ocean
This is a disgusting display of the ridiculousness of human existance. What bothers me is not that they appear to be scam artists, or that they think
we are stupid enough to believe it. Its not even the fact that it may just be a joke for people to talk about.
Its the fact that ignorant people will attract other ignorance. If for just one year we could stop all this idiocy and focus that stupidity on real
issues in this world.
Im sure im over reacting, but its my nature to see where logic could be utilized and is abandoned(and reported on) for the mild and fleeting
satisfaction of ones entertainment.
Then again....let the ignorami buy thier land. After all its a volcano. Might be a good way to get rid of them.
