If you need me I'll just be circling the maternity ward, listening for screams with my glass ready in hand.

I like this thread, but Im surprised that Striker hasnt come in here already to complain how useless it is because it doesnt have enough junk pics.
here is a really great article about how dubai really isnt that progressive and great. i had always heard dubai was like this uptopia and filthy rich and I wanted to go on vaction there, but this goes behind the scenes:
i read the original GQ ariticle about how great of a money manager Lenny Dykstra is......and this is the follow up about how he is basically a scam artist and everyone is suing him.

I think I read a gq or esquire article about that. If you go the exact center of the US there's a random sign stating that fact. If I remember, they were hoping to have it become a tourist attraction but the Eisenhower interstate system killed that dream.

"One of the locations claimed to be the Geographic Center of the Contiguous (or Conterminous) United States is pinpointed by a historical marker that is located within a small park near the town of Lebanon, Kansas. It is located at the intersection of AA Road and K-191, accessible by a turn-off from U.S. Route 281 approximately a mile north of the town. In actuality, the measured center is about 1/2 to 3/4 mile away on a private farm, but the owner did not want tourists trudging through his field, so the marker was placed as close as possible. There is generally an American flag flying on the pole placed on top of the monument. Just to the south of the monument, yards away, exists a covered picnic area and small four-pew chapel where a couple can take wedding vows if they wish.
The reality of the monument is probably a little more fiction than fact. In 1918, the Coast and Geodetic Survey found this "center" by balancing on a point a cardboard cutout shaped like the U.S. Thus, measured in this manner, the actual "center" of the U.S. could be located twenty or more miles from this point, but still might not pinpoint the true "center" at all as an official measurement would have to be defined by an agreed upon standard which does not exist."
I found that on Wikipedia.
