Don't want to go to the mountain? Then bring the mountain to you! The New indoor Skiing Resort in the middle of "Sunny" Dubai!
Ski Dubai, 85m high by 80m wide, has to cope with average outside winter temperatures of 77 degrees fahrenhiet and summer temperatures soaring above 104.
The 22,500sq/m of piste are covered with 6,000 metric tons of manufactured snow all year round.
This an image of the new Snow City they want to build next.
Why not make manmade islands that are shaped like the countries of the world next?
or
a space elevator perhaps....

ok these pictures are from the BBC[TM] site.
Marinetti published a cookbook that called for motor oil as an ingredient.
Robots need good eats too!
I was at the Smithsonian a week or two ago, and there was a display about simulated/fantasy environments. Of course they mentioned GM's 1939 Futurama, but there was a hotel they mentioned that is thought to be a precursor to Disney Land and Vegas... I can't think of it now and it's driving me nuts.
I think it's sort of funny that they are going to build a "Space Dome(TM)" in an already hazardous environment containing yet *another* hazardous environment.
