If i was a billionaire

[Sparx]

I'd blatently do this too, only id have DAVE etched across the highlands or something

Billionaire sheikh carves out his name in desert in capital letters visible from space | The Sun |News

 

[Calaen]

Quality!

 

[TdC]

maybe I'm getting old, but imagine how many polio shots, or schools or toothbrushes he could have bought with the money spent?

 

[Ch3tan]

He has $14 billion Teedles, he doesn't care.

I too think it's awesome.

 

[TdC]

he should give some to meeee! I'd buy a solid platinum Alfa Romeo GT and then crash it*



















*because being rich automatically makes you a retard

 

[Ormorof]

dont think it would go very fast with all the extra weight Platinum would add

(when you consider Platinum is nearly as heavy as Lead being 6 times heavier than Aluminium and 3 times heavier than Iron)

 

[TdC]

*because being rich automatically makes you a retard

ahem, my dear fellow, may I draw your attention to my previous statement?

 

[Ormorof]

Ah but i simply said it wouldnt go very fast, never said you wouldnt be able to crash it

 

[Ch3tan]

He was referring to the retard part, Orm, not the crashing part.

 

[TdC]

ah, I thought you were referring to my making it vastly inefficient

 

[TdC]

ah, I thought you were referring to my making it vastly inefficient

see? Ch3tan UNDERSTANDS man! He knows me! That's why he will be in my entourage when I am a billionaire, and you, Ormorof, will be a stalwart of the metallurgic realm...but we will never meet

 

[Lollie]

Could put a massive FH on it and copyright the earth

 

[Lamp]

TBH, I thought it was a bit naff.

The ultimate graffiti. Write on a wall? Fuck you, I'm writing on the planet.

Completely vain waste of money but amusing

EDIT:

Can't wait to see someone trademark the planet or somesuch

Depends if he concreted the walls or not, which i'm fairly sure he has...

Turns out they're a bit shit. They're falling apart already.


As for this thing, I know its a matter of perspective, but couldn't he have had it done the "right" way up?

 

[Huntingtons]

if he truly was rich and an oil sheik, wouldnt it be oil floating in the letters?

 

[megadave]

I'd definitely do the thing every young male in the world would appreciate and get a giant cock and balls engraved somewhere

 

[Huntingtons]

now thats something i can agree with! A giant cock near some where in Finland wheress theres alot of lakes!

 

[Ctuchik]

That's iirc because they ran out of money and can't maintain/complete them.

I think only one of those are actually complete and habitable, the rest is put on ice waiting for more money to flow in.

I thought they didn't think about how the water would circulate between and around them and there were mahoosive pockets of stagnating water. Or was that the palm islands?
