Aquaworld! Underwater Living for Tomorrow’s Family of the Upcoming Future

It’s kind of tough to figure out exactly what the point of this article on humans living at the bottom of the ocean is, but there is some great stuff in there like this:
Famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, meanwhile, was busy chasing his own underwater dreams. His experimental habitat, called Conshelf, was built 85 feet below the ocean’s surface and was intended to be the future home of a new human species, dubbed Homo Aquaticus, with gills for lungs.
And this:
…Hydropolis, a $500 million-plus, 220-room hotel under development near Dubai in the Persian Gulf. Billed as the world’s first underwater hotel, the Hydropolis will be located, if all goes according to plan, 60 feet below sea level and cost $1,500 a night. Among other amenities, the Hydropolis will also feature a missile defense system to guard against terrorists, a shopping mall, and three bars.
The first confirms what we already knew — Jacques Cousteau was the *&$%ing man. The second confirms that Dubaiins apparently read old Marvel comics. Seriously dudes, HYDROPOLIS. MISSLE DEFENSE SYSTEM.

I know Pauly Shore has SOMETHING to do with this.
