* This year's over-the-top Neiman Marcus Christmas Book is offering a
personal submarine for bored, rich, lost souls with $20 million to burn.
If you place your order today with Fort Lauderdale-based U.S. Submarines Inc.
(www.ussubs.com), you can pick up your 118-foot-long luxury sub in about
20 months. US Subs CEO Bruce Jones told us yesterday that the
diesel-and-electric-powered vessel, which sleeps up to seven crew
members and 11 passengers, can cruise 1,000 feet below the ocean's
surface for 3,000 nautical miles. "So far we've sold a couple of smaller models
to wealthy Arabs," he said.
