Now you can own a fully assembled "Large R.M.S. Titanic Large Wooden Model" -- either 32 or 40 inches long -- with "amazing details" that include "handcrafted wood lifeboats." I wonder if one of those lifeboats includes a tiny replica of The New York Times Company chairman, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.

You could fill up your bathtub with frigid water and send Junior afloat in his little lifeboat, a victim of a financial iceberg.

That's cold, huh?
