We all live in a yellow submarine! Looks pretty cool! I'll have to look up gingersnap houses first, but definitely an innovative idea! Kudos!

Well, yes, I just happen to have a Matryoshka doll at home (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_dolls ) with well known Soviet leaders as its theme. They are popular souvenirs. Mine is a couple of years old, so it does not start with Putin as the outermost doll, it consists of Lenin, Stalin, Breschnev, Gorbachov, and Jeltsin from inside out.

I would say that the sub is more interesting. It is designed to capsize, take in water, and then almost sink. It will stop sinking with just a few qubic cm margin, floating with merely its periscope above water.
