Modern-Day Atlantis

As if Dubai’s 7-stars Burj al Arab Hotel wasn’t wonderful enough, the wealthy Arab sheics have created an even greater architectural wonder, the Atlantis. It cost over 1,5 billion dollars to build, but the investors are confident that they will recover their investment in just a few years, and at a minimum of $1,000 per room/night, they just might. The theme rooms, like Poseidon and Neptune go up to $8,000-$10,000 a night.

Built on the artificial island known as The Palm, Atlantis has 1373 room, 166 apartments, a giant fish-tank with 65,000 fish, a 170,000 square meters aqua park, artificial beaches, a lagoon and even an artificial river. Plenty of reasons to visit…if you can afford it.

A cross between a Great Dane and a Newfoundland, Samson is about the size of a small horse and even wears a raincoat meant for one, because, like his owners say “Such a large dog getting soaking wet wouldn’t smell very nice.”

Samson is only three years old and will continue to grow even more and the owners fear that soon they’ll be forced to get a bigger house. the current one is already pretty shaken up from the dog’s loud snoring.

I don’t know what’s wrong with us these days - we keep posting some weird animal stuff lately. We love animals, some in our plate, some in our backyard and some in the wild. But these was too wtf-ish to miss. Here is what a stork is having for a snack (don’t watch if you like bunnies)

Cat Vs. Dog

This is one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen between a kung-fu kitty and a hungry dog. It seems the cat has the upper hand, but unfortunately we don’t know for sure how it ends.

Even though it’s not that funny, I always laugh when I come across animals stuck one way or another. Take this cow, for example or this curious hedgehog that really wanted to see how tunnel vision feels like.
