Sorry folks I forgot to post this in the am, so I'm doing tomorrow a bit early.
A cow orker of mine sent me this.
I was curious, so I tried looking for " Al Futaisi " on google maps. Sure enough, I found it. Must be nice to have a few extra BILLION laying around to dig a hole in the sand big enough to be visible from space. really? REALLY?????

Well, there are worse things he could be doing with his money, I suppose.

His name is Ahmad.

What a disgraceful waste of resources.
What a narcissistic self-indulgence.
I also sneer at him for writing in in Roman rather than Arabic letters.
Loser.
And I bet he has a tiny penis.

He has some crazy toys. He likes huge cars, so he has them custom built for him to scale. He's got a big Jeep and a big truck, and a big Range Rover, and a mobile home trailer in the shape of the Earth.

I'd be tempted to call photoshop but it is there on google maps. Quite funny how it is at different stages of completion at different zooms.
And lets face it, if we had THAT kind of money, we all would...

I'd have built something useful in that spot. Like a heat-lamp store, or a flea circus, perhaps a spray tanning salon.
