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.

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

I just want to know what they will be charging for a night in the underwater disc..

Likely to be outrageous.

I am soooo visiting Dubai at some point.

That is freaking amazing!

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

I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

Well, after you 'do your business', you push the handle and flush....... :P
Wait...maybe they have human sandboxes, like for cats!
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

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.
