The Eighth Wonder of the world!!!

http://www.palmisland.co.ae/ <---check site

so tehy are building this island in the UAE which is in the shape of a palm tree and will be visible from the moon.

apparently big name clebrities have already bought land there and are waiting for its completion in 2006

Looks like it will turn out nice but I guess when you have money to spend, you build something like this.

Posted by CygnusX on Jan-18-2003 20:55:

Wow, that looks cool
They must have too much money.

It's a place that i could only dream off. You must have billions to one a little bit of land of this island. But it's a nice idea.

Apparently it is estimated to come to a total cost of 15 Billion Dirhams which equals about roughly 5 billion US

that was the first thing that popped into my head...

now, i'm not a world pacifist or whatever the hell those people are, but i'm sure there are many starving children who would rather use the money. this is just going overboard, i tell you.

if i believed in god, i'd say that he/she wouldn't approve of this.

but i don't, so i'll say wait for mother nature to flood this island with all the million-dollar houses and celebrities alike

yeah, i'm being slightly bitter about this
