Fools' names and fools' faces oft times appear in public places...

Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan, a billionaire Sheikh
and member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family, has had his name
carved into the sandy surface of al Futaisi Island, an island he owns
in the Persian Gulf. At half a mile tall and 2 miles long altogether,
the letters HAMAD may be the world's largest; regardless,
they're visible from space. Normally, words written in sand wash away,
but these letters are large enough to form waterways that absorb the encroaching tide.
