The World is the name of a group of about 300 man-made islands off the coast of Dubai designed for luxury living. There are planned communities, full utilities, and beachfronts for everyone. Seen from the sky, the groups of islands look like a map of the world! Link -via Dump Trumpet

Wow. All I keep thinking is…one big wave…just ONE big wave and it’ll be gone.

Is it possible to get an island in the shape of a skull? And have a giant skull shaped fortress built on it? With minions who wear skull masks?

… and then the minions release the dogs with skull masks with bees in their mouth and when they bark the shoot little skull-ish bees at you?

Ugh it’s 120° outside. I think I’ll stay inside my skull fortress today.
Some crazy dork
Yes, when you think about it… the world really IS just.. ‘two bears mating’…

Absolutely disgusting… And the world hates the wastefulness and luxury we have in the USA? At least we are not redesigning the ecosystem…eh…that overtly at least.

This makes me feel a bit sick. How safe and sanitized and unthreatening it all is. The perfect place for arms dealers, drugs barons and spoiled heiresses to meet, mingle and sip Martinis. Just wait till the ice caps melt. Or the Oil War finally kicks off. And no, I’m not jealous. I mean, I’d like to be able to afford one of these places, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

Heh, this looked vastly better in the concept art. http://www.eikongraphia.com/?p=209
Whenever I show the real-world photos to my friends, they say “What is that supposed to be?”

Hah! It turned out ugly! Take that, Prince of Dubai! Not that he wouldn’t regain all that money back anyway…

I thought it looked like bacteria growing in a petri dish too.
Australia looks crap.
