I thought this was interesting. I also did not know the difference between a blimp and a zeppelin.

Interesting Link Larry...some good reading there...

I always thought if I won a lot of money I would purchase one of those and turn it into a flying aerial camper.

You could park it almost anywhere, even over the water.

Technically, it is a rigid airship. A Zeppelin is a product name, like Kleenex or Jell-O. It's just that everyone thinks Zeppelin when they think of rigid airships, so it has gone into common lexicon.
