Emaar water spectacle

Emaar Properties said on Monday it plans to build one of the largest

fountains in the world as the centrepiece of its Downtown Burj Dubai

project. Arabian Business reveals what the real estate giant has in
store

The fountains, which has yet to be named, will be capable of shooting

water over 150 metres into the air - the height of a 50-storey building
-
and stretch over 275 metres - the length of two football fields

The $218 million project will be 25 percent larger than the iconic

fountains at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas

Like the Fountains of Bellagio, Emaar's fountains will include an
integral
light and sound show and is expected to become one of Dubai's major

tourist attractions, drawing over 10 million visitors per year.

The fountains will shoot 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any
given
moment and feature over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors

The fountains have yet to be named and a cash prize of $27,225 has
been
assigned to the winner of a competition to name the water feature

The structure is scheduled to be operational by 2009

Golf bag

The other day I was playing golf and saw an unusual thing.     A golfer became so mad that he threw his brand new set of golf clubs into the lake.     A few minutes later he came back, waded into the lake, and retrieved his clubs.   He proceeded to take his car keys out of the bag -- then threw  the clubs back into the water.
