[QUOTE=urbanmonkey;41849017]If you use the term 'utopia' very very lightly.
Unless you are an ultra-traditional filthy rich Muslim male, then yet, it is probably a utopia for you.[/QUOTE]
That's my kind of utopia.
Apparently they have this new fitness program thing put on by the government or something where every 2 kilograms of weight you lose they give you a gram of solid gold.
(My memory might be a little off on some of those details)
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;41848317]That's amazing. The best my town has to offer in comfort at the bust stop is a broken bench with trash and gum all over it.[/QUOTE]
Wow, we don't even get benches.

As for something to contribute to the thread, I found this yesterday or the day before and found it rather interesting.

yes, good job
I know I'm a few posts late but Dubai is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Don't go in the summer because your balls will cook through your trousers and it gets really uncomfortable.
If any of you ever go pay a visit to the indoor ski slope, but watch out for the guy who runs the chair lift, he's a fucking arsehole.
Pfft if you want to see an indoor ski slope just go to Milton Keynes. Far superior to Dubai.

Looking at it again, I can see the street view arrow now. I originally thought that was actually part of the ground... :v:
[QUOTE=cathal6606;41848901]That's beautiful, where's it located?[/QUOTE]
North Western Washington state. About 2 hours to the nearest town.
Again if you guys would like, I could snip up some video I took of either the lightning storm or some relaxing as hell video (If my family shut up) of the water by my cabin.
[QUOTE=Scot;41854752]Pfft if you want to see an indoor ski slope just go to Milton Keynes. Far superior to Dubai.[/QUOTE]
Whilst I will agree with you the slope in Milton Keynes is very good, I simply prefer the one in Dubai:

The above picture doesn't show it very well but the slope curves around to the left and there is perhaps another 100m or more of slope.

There used to be one of those in Adelaide, Australia, but there was a malfunction causing the snow to melt then re-solidify causing the concrete structure to be damaged. It never reopened

I was joking MK is a shithole.
I found a butterfly on our butterfly bush that I thought was really pretty and managed to get some pictures of it, these are the best 2.
Also, anyone who might be a butterfly or insect/bug enthusiast, if you happen to know what kind of butterfly it is, I'd be thrilled to know.

That car is a bomb which, shortly after the photo was taken, exploded and killed 29 people.
That would be Omagh iirc, the 15th anniversary was last Thursday.

a map that shows the internet usage across the world.
the black wave represents night and the yellow wave represents day. the redder an area gets the more internet it is using, and the bluer or greener it gets the less it is using.

Europeans seem to use the internet more during the hours before they go to bed unlike americans who use it the most in the middle of the day.
It looks like europe and north america is synchronised. I don't see that connection between any of the other continents.
I mean yeah, makes sense. But cool nonetheless to see it like this.
