Here’s a great post Peiper didn’t have time to put up, so I did it for him. It’s from a chain email that’s going around.

2. There is a documentary on the various Discovery channels about that thing. It’s attach to an enormous shopping mall. The show talks about the design and construction. It’s absolutely amazing.
   That and the man made private islands that look the USA and various countries. I read somewhere that a large percentage (maybe one third) of the WORLD’S construction cranes are up in the UAE.

   How they got the cash is disappointing, true. But at least they are doing some cool shit with it.

3. Saw one of those in Japan - very spooky when you first see it and don’t realize what it is.  First thought: HFS… nobody said UFO’s have to look like a discus.
