i saw on tv the creation of the palm island... they have to keep dredging the beaches because of altered water currents beacuse its so close to the land which itself costs a small fortune

Did anyone see the mega yacht he's having built? It's going to be the largest in the world. That is if it's not already completed. It was on the travel channel.

The only bad thing is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum is being accused of slavery and such.

And he needs to shorten his name. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
