MAC OS X running through VirtualBox

I own a MacBook. I'm using Ubuntu ON my MacBook because I like Ubuntu better than the Mac. I have VirtualBox installed in Ubuntu on my MacBook.

Has any one ever tried installing Mac OSX on VirtualBox through Ubuntu? Why? I'm tired of dual booting, and almost never use the Mac anymore, but would like the freedom of doing so if desired.

I have VirtualBox installed on Ubuntu on my MacBook running Windows XP. Can I also run Mac OSX Leopard on Ubuntu which is on my MacBook through VirtualBox? If so, do I use, "Other/Unknown" as the platform in setting it up?
