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.

Shame they misspelled it, though.

His name is Ahmad.

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

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.

What is this line around the edge of the island and going around the H and A? Is that a road?

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.

Turns out his choice of font was very important.

Ari Al Sans-serif was his grandfather.

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 believe that originally it was all supposed to fill with water, but that didn't work out so well.

Hell no I wouldn't have!
I'd have built something useful in that spot. Like a heat-lamp store, or a flea circus, perhaps a spray tanning salon.
