When will Dubai sink?

As yet another stupidly tall building is proposed for this little desert oasis, I'm starting a sweepstake: when will Dubai sink beneath the combined weight of all these buildings?

I'm plumping for 19th July, 2029.

"What will they use for sustainable resources? Burn money?" Hah!

More pertinently, you have to wonder how much they are paying Al Qaeda not to fly planes into these buildings.

I'm with Curry. Seems like a great way to aggregate the absurdly wealthy in one place, so you can purge a heap of them in one go.

Yep. It's also the day that the ice age ended!
