FluffyTemplar (long story on the origin of that name!) sent me a link
to the M.C. Escher painting, “Relativity”, re-interpreted in Lego. The guy(s) who did this also did a number of other Escher paintings in
Lego. As the designers note, the Escher website is also worth a visit.

Got an extra US $10 million? Then you can buy a man-made island in a new real estate project being built off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
It’s called the World, because the islands are grouped together so that the whole things looks like a map of the world. The World will consist of between 250 to 300 smaller private artifical islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island will range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet in size, with 50 to 100 metres of water between each island.
