That’s pretty cool, but I still think building an entire island chain community out of nothing, and shaping it like a palm tree was much cooler.

Still, hopefully eventually Discovery will do an Extreme Engineering and show us how you make a giant building spin.

The fun stuff you can do when every time you drill a hole on your land oil comes out.

They’ve already one-up’d themselves. The new one is called “The World”. Multiple man made islands layed out as, well… The World. Schumi was already given an island by the Prince of Dubai as a retirement gift… a $7 million dollar gift :eek:
