I wonder how that court case affects the "Elgin marbles"

I wonder of the group will recover the costs to retrieve the treasure from the bottom of the sea floor...

With practically every government in the world in debt up to their eyeballs, I'd say it's a given from now on that any find or recovery like this, worth the cost of going to court, will immediately end up there - if not outright seized - courtesy of one government or another.

She isn't that good, IMO. Sure, I'd do her but I wouldn't say that she is worth that much.

Pornstar Biography: Mercedes
Height : 5'6
Hair : black
Measurements : 34DD-25-34
Birth Place : Corpus Christi, United States
Date of Birth : 1979-11-10

Vivid pictures has her spelled as Mercedez and some places have her as Mercedes. We report, you decide.

BTW, looking for her site, I also found a Star Wars XXX parody of the movie, FYI

FYI2: There is a porn star by the name of Lexus.

Trivia for the day.

I hope there was a finders fee at least for the locators. This to me is a strange ruling. A deserted ship is subject to salvage claim I always thought. If asked where their ship was prior to it's discovery I doubt they could have pinpointed the location.

The rules for salvage on commercial ships are different from the ones on military vessels. The ship in question is apparently the latter.

Surely, maritime law provides some kind of remuneration for salvors in cases like this. That really sucks! The Spanish stole all of that treasure from S America in the first place. I guess THAT doesn't matter . . .

To bad it was a military ship. I don't think you can claim salvage on a military vessel, and no matter where they lie the country still owns them.
