'Inhabitat' - "Maldives To Fight Rising Sea Levels With Floating Islands"

I was going to post this last Friday but I got stuck in the comments section of this blog educating a specific individual on the fine art of journalistic ethics and values. :-P

I post this now only for the fun factor. From Inhabitat.com:

While exact design details of these new floating islands are still unavailable, we do know that Dutch Docklands knows a thing or two about creating water developments using methods and procedures that reduce impact on underwater life and minimize changes to coastal morphology. We also know that architect Koen Olthuis is a force to be reckoned with, so we can’t wait to see these creative designs come to fruition.

At the signing ceremony, Mahmood Razi, Chairman of the Privatisation Committee said the Maldives plans to seek the assistance of Dutch Docklands to develop floating housing units in the Maldives in the future.

I want one with a volcano and a rocket ship that shoots out of the spout. Oh, and I need a white pussycat and lots of allergy medication.
