    The HotTug is a wood-fired hot tub in which you can sail and a tugboat in which you can enjoy warm baths. A wide and stable boat for up to eight people. *And* the stove can be used to grill sausages on. Excellent!

    It is a hot photo-op also, see HotTug on Facebook

    French breaststroker Hugues Duboscq won the men’s 200 meter breaststroke at the LEN 2008 European Short Course Championships in Rijeka, Croatia, in a then new European Record of 2:04.59. So is that the Longhorn hand sign or ‘just’ rock ‘n roll? :-)
