The world is an amazing place---especially when you build it off of the coast of Dubai

It's true. A student told me about this: http://www.theworld.ae/

I don't even know where to begin... So is this a post-post-post-modern world? My head hurts just thinking about all of the doctoral dissertations this little project's gonna spawn.

But it gives me an idea: all of the poets in the world should chip in a few bucks---then we could buy, say, New Hampshire and establish "Verselandia"!* Now that's nationalism.

E-mail me for more details about donating or if you have ideas for a cool flag---I'm imagining something in azure with many intricate designs.
