Reminds me of some of the homes featured on a show called Amazing Vacation Homes on the Travel Channel. They would occasionally show this kind of thing. Interesting but I think I would want to see up close first. I would think rust would be a problem!
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Well yes, there is that. Although I should rather think anyone who stows away in a shipping container is pretty much odd by definition!
