    Yeah, pretty amazing. Probably the last project of such excess we'll see for a while!


    Dubai is in deep financial shit. They better concentrating on saving their country instead of useless showing-off.

    What D said. The Burj-Dubai is a spectacular looking building and would be awesome to see but this could turn out to be one helluva white elephant.

    It's not 'gay' that attribute to those people. Rather, they say they share Napoleon graces.

    At least one member of the forum will be glad with these news... wink

    Big spider discovered in shrinking habitat
    Boasting a half-foot legspan, spider is the largest of its family in the region

    "With a lanky legspan of up to nearly a half foot, a newly discovered spider species is the largest among its family of arachnids in the Middle East.

    The spider, now dubbed Cerbalus aravensis, was discovered in the dunes of the Sands of Samar in the southern Arava region in Israel by a team of biologists from the University of Haifa-Oranim. The scientists say C. aravensis is nocturnal and mostly active during the hottest months of the year. "

    If I'd known your little "fact" when I was walking in the Amazon a few years ago, I would have brought an umbrella.

    Well, in truth Thor, when you think about it why the hell would a creature that size want to mess with anything the size of a human, if they can they'll stay right out of your way. I only saw one when I was trekking in the Bolivian Amazon and that was only because I was looking for them!

    Note to self: Never go to dunes of the Sands of Samar in the southern Arava region in Israel

    At least they're specific.

    I would suggest only the very high mountainous regions of the world and the poles as holiday destinations gauranteed to be big spider free.
