For a brief moment, looking at this, I felt like I was in the future of my childhood. Then I remembered... this is Dubai. The only place on the whole planet that has any money to do anything cool.

I'd want a house with this architecture whether it incorporated water or not.

Likely to be outrageous.

This started life as an underwater research lab back in the 1970s and was repurposed and is still running as an underwater hotel.

Well, after you 'do your business', you push the handle and flush....... :P

It probably just goes into the ocean. It's the most effective system for recycling organic waste ever devised.

Well, I guess that's a valid means to keep the voyeurs away as you try to join the 30 ft Deep Club.

Don't worry. It only attacks people wearing 3D glasses.
