    Well the Dubai World Islands are sinking. What a terrible investment these people made with this idea.

    I was thinking about posting that when I saw it last night.

    Dubai is FULL of FAIL right now with the current world economy.

    What does it say about the ruler of Dubai, that he chose Greenland to make the showpiece? Did he not want to show envy of the other countries in the world that have a higher status than his?

    Well, I work in the La Porte/Deer Park area, and that part of the world is stinking (which is what I thought I read in the title)
