At least, that’s how the real estate listing describes Vatu Vara Island. Listed at $75,000,000, that’s only $75,000/acre, which seems pretty reasonable. The top of the 1000 foot high volcano (not recently active) in the middle is 40 acres.

That is freaking awesome. Anybody who is rich is an idiot for not buying that.

Gotta wonder if it's got power though.

Does that not have a striking resemblance to the land mass on a certain primetime show that seems popular with this board?

It's also in a remarkably similar location. The only boat that has found the island departed from Fiji.

let's add this thing to the stimulus bill. It would create a couple of jobs because I would need servants on my new island.

I hate to be this naive but are you talking about in saying "the only boat to find it departed from fiji?"

Sly was comparing it to LOST. The island in that show is in the south pacific somwhere. The only boat to find it left from Fiji. This island is in Fiji.

Yeah that's what I was thinking...but they really do have a "secret" island for the show? I figured they were in Malibu or something! (I dont watch the show)

They actually tape it in Honolulu and the island you see on the show is Kauai. I got to see them this past summer.

Oh you were actually talking about the storyline of the show...their island hasnt been found except one ON THE SHOW that found it from fiji

You watched them film it? Big fan? I did just read how you went to sleep with a smile on your face because of a good episode....

I don't think that was me. We just drove by the one in Honolulu. I did a zipline in Kauai. There were pictures in flamefans goes global but nobody seemed to care.

edit: actually I just went and checked and Sly asked me where it was and I never answered. Sorry Sly.

That was me. You really should be careful who's friendship you accept.
