>"Firstly, each floor will be able to rotate independently! That's right, if you want your apartment to face west instead of east, you can rotate your apartment at a maximum rate of 6 metres per minute, allowing full rotation in 90 minutes."

No, that's not innovative. That's incredibly wasteful and narcissistic. How about getting off your azz and walking to a different window? Even if you have to use your Hoverround cos you're too obese to walk anymore, that's still more efficient than having the entire floor or your building move for you....

Anyway, half the projects mentioned in that article are already cancelled or will soon have their main use as sets in science fiction films about futuristic ghost towns.

I love the article for referring to "the recent recession hiccup."

Oh, I think they have sexual/religious hypocrites in power there just like we do here. I'm sure it happens as much as anywhere else.

And I have never heard much discussion about whether het oral sex is forbidden, come to think of it.

Anyway, you had dropped a word, thereby making a pun.

Innovative ways steal oil money.

Vacant billion dollars towers in the middle of the desert.

Good place to keep camels during a sand storm though.

Discussions and meetings go really well today because you're finding it easy to put your thoughts into words. You'll also show that you respect other people's viewpoints even if they don't coincide with your own. It's a good day for making domestic plans, and some of these will be quite ambitious without being unrealistic or far-fetched.
