Ships build man made islands off Dubai

Thanks to the magic of Google Maps here are some shots of ships building massive man made islands off the coast of Dubai. You can actually see sand being pumped into the island. I had a similar project ready for my Fortress of Solitude, but then funding fell through and I had to use cardboard boxes. It's almost as awesome, except on windy days when it just blows away.
