QE2 Sets sail
for a new home. The Queen Elizabeth 2,arguably one of the most famous ships in the world, is set to become a 100 million dollar tourist attraction in a specially designed dock located in The Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. Some are very upset at this sale.

Perhaps something like this for your 4th link, Vertex?

Maybe they can offer the Arabs the Cutty Sark instead?

It's a dirty fucking boat people, ride a new one. Next!

That Palm Island thingie is pretty cool.

Dubai? w...t...f? Carnival is an American company. This is really weird. Oh well. /chalk up another one for world oddities

Bist Dubai Mir?

Ja, bin ich. Toll, na? The Palm Islands are mental. There's going to be 3 of them, as well. And then they're doing a set of islands in the shape of the continents of the world. No gambling in Dubai though!

Terrorism is so much easier if you can bomb the States without leaving the Middle East, I suppose.

Think of the possibilities of selling incredibly cheap land at an incredibly high price... how would you like to buy Hong Kong for 1.5 billion! At these low prices it's a steal! In Dubai, no refunds.

The Palms? Hubris.
