After watching Disney’s Frozen it kind of makes you wonder, could I live in an Ice Castle? Well of course! That would be bad ass. But since only Elsa has the freezing power to build one during a catchy song, poor schlubs like us are left to more conventional ways of scoring an ice palace in the Norwegian mountains.

The number isn’t as high as expected and it’s actually pretty obtainable. If we all pool our money we might be able to pull this off. Plus there’s plenty of bedrooms so we can share it.

3. JARVIS, standing for “Just A Rather Very Intelligent System,” is Tony Stark’s computer system. This is a tribute to Edward Jarvis, Stark’s butler from the comics. He was changed to artificial intelligence to avoid comparisons to Batman/Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
4. Right before the final press conference, Tony Stark is seen reading a newspaper with a poor-quality photo of Iron Man on the cover. This is actually from a video shot by onlookers hiding in the bushes during the initial filming.
