This building will be a seven-star hotel is designed by Sybarite Architects and will feature a two-story jungle at the top. The 28-story building is a $350 million project off the coast of Dubai and could only be reached by boat or helicopter. The hotel will have 438 suites, a spa, art gallery and an underwater restaurant. The top two floors would be given over to a temperature controlled butterfly jungle.

The cliché "money can't buy everything" is true, and we're not just talking about love or happiness. Money may not be able to buy you the car you want either, depending on exactly which one it is. According to this list the most sought after and coveted car in the world is the Aston Marton DBS. Have one? Be proud, because if you don't not only will you have to dish out $265,000 but you'll also have to spend 28 months or more on the waiting list.

I'm currently in 2nd year C.S.
With any luck I'll actually use this forum.. otherwise I'll just have one more account collecting dust on the internet. Meh.. Time will tell.

I'm curious: if you could pick ONE quote that has struck you as the worst, most despicable thing ever said, what would it be? This is a participation thread. :)

My pick:

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask instead what you can do for your country." - JFK]]> Scientology Gets its First Splinter-Sect http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2564/scientology-gets-its-first-splinter-sect Tue, 11 Sep 2007 01:40:54 +0000 Morro 2564@/forum/discussions Freezone.

In a nutshell, this is a group that says that Hubbard's vision has been lost in the Church of Scientology. They call the CoS a bunch of mean and true things, and then say that they want to start an alternative to the CoS that actually sticks to Hubbard's wishes. For those that don't know, the Church of Scientology is essentially the mafia, now. Well, that would be true, if the mafia were unbelievably creepy, as well as violent and sociopathic.

Could be an attempt at subversive humor, or just a plain old prank, but it would be interesting if it were real. There's nothing inherently violent about Hubbard's Dianetics. Could a more "fundamentalist" Scientology, divorced from the corruption of the current CoS heads, actually end up being a harmlessly kooky cult, or is it doomed to sink into the same crap the Church has gotten into?]]> Do you honk? http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2562/do-you-honk Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:16:08 +0000 vonnie 2562@/forum/discussions
"HONK HONK!!!"

I look outside, and this guy is parked in front of the house across the street. Then I see a girl run out of the house and hop in the car, then they drive off.

Is it just me or is this rude?

I never honk for people to come out when I pick them out. I always go and ring the doorbell / knock.
Do your SO's honk for you when they come to pick you up?]]> Paying Tuition http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2577/paying-tuition Thu, 13 Sep 2007 18:24:33 +0000 vonnie 2577@/forum/discussions
Well I go to the Account Finances page in my account, and it says this:

You can pay all charges on your student account by internet or telephone banking; or by putting a cheque or money order in the drop off mailbox located at SFU Burnaby, top floor of MBC 3000 - the cheque should be made payable to Simon Fraser University, with your student number clearly PRINTED on the front; or in person at any SFU campus (Burnaby, Surrey, Vancouver) Registrar and Information Services general enquiries counter by debit/bank card, cash, cheque or money order. You can also use the 'Make a Payment' option to pay the admissions application fee, admission deposit and all outstanding charges of your student account via a credit card (Visa or MasterCard).

So can I pay tuition via credit card?]]> I have a problem http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2572/i-have-a-problem Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:48:23 +0000 Kevin M. 2572@/forum/discussions FAO ppl who feel the need to.... http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2575/fao-ppl-who-feel-the-need-to Thu, 13 Sep 2007 00:29:44 +0000 baby e 2575@/forum/discussions
Yes, I am talking about those people who lean over onto MY SIDE (thats right, that where i am sitting), push their laptop so its hanging off the table on my side, and have their legs on my side.

For the love of god, what is wrong with you??!?!???

I was sitting in lecture today and this guy was leaning so far over on my side. He kept rubbing his arm against mine and rubbing his feet against my leg. I gave him the dirtiest looks every time he did it and was like, "ugh" and moved as far over in my seat as i could. And every time he mumbled, "sorry" while looking at me in the creepiest way. And not only that, but he kept mumbling to himself and humming the entire time. I couldnt wait to get the hell out of there, and before you can say it, yes the class was packed, so there was no where else to sit other than the aisles, and believe me i was pretty tempted to move there.

Ugh. Made my lecture very unfun.]]> BUS 207 or ECON 301 http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2330/bus-207-or-econ-301 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 06:23:14 +0000 meesh 2330@/forum/discussions
I'm doing a Business major and it's a requirement to take BUS 207, i use ECON 301 as credit for that requirement. what's the difference between the courses? is one more theory-based and is one more quantitative?

any input is appreciated!! ...enrollment causes unnecessary stress for me. i really should've figured this stuff out earlier... :embarassed:]]> advice again http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2571/advice-again Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:47:37 +0000 Broken Lizard 2571@/forum/discussions I haven't started acting different or anything, im the same usual self.

Just makes me want to spend less time with her, we see each other everyday and i usually stay at her place 6 nights a week.
Is this a normal thing that usually occurs after so much time or do I ask her what is up? Bored of me?
Stress maybe from school? First semester back since high school, took a 2 year break.

Should i just take a few days away from her and see if she realizes what shes doing?]]> Where do you like to sit in lecture? http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2553/where-do-you-like-to-sit-in-lecture Sun, 09 Sep 2007 23:33:45 +0000 Kevin M. 2553@/forum/discussions
