I like the dual cranes on the top- gives it an unearthly "Praying mantis" feel. Seriously, they should just make it into a giant penis...with oil-drum shaped buildings at the base as testicles....possibly a gyser of oil at the very apex.

The thing is, though, at this point in time oil revenues are such a small part of UAE's GDP; most of it comes from tourism.

The condom thing? No, it isn't, there's some festival (maybe Carnival itself) they do that for, or did it for one year.

Well, I was partially right. "English: A 67 m long "condom" on the Obelisco (obelisk) in downtown Buenos Aires, to commemorate the international AIDS awareness day." December 9th, 2005. Ask your friend if he was there that day.

What, the numbers translate differently, even with the same unit?
Or is it that folks in Argentina just exaggerate penis size (dude-o, mi wang es 100 metros!) more than happens in the English-speaking world?
Then again, this could represent Argentinians as better lovers, because evidently its easier for them to get to 69.
Thoughts?
