Yeah, but Dubai Mall is bigger than Abu Dhabi Mall.
Dubai Mall is so big, it takes 2 hours to get out of the car park !!
Ha.

Yeah but AD has soooooooooo much more oil than you and therefore soooooooooooo much more money. How long til you come running to AD for a big fat handout with all this credit crunch business going on?!
Double ha!
NB For 'you' please read Dubai' - I got a bit carried away!!

Total threadjack, but your #32 so reminds me of the "Economics, according to cows" email.
Basically, a run down of various countries and how ownership of two cows would affect them.
France: you have 2 cows. You go on strike because you want 3 cows.
England: you have 2 cows. Both are mad.
Egypt: you have 2 cows, they both vote for Mubarak
Lebanon: you have 2 cows, one is owned by Syria, the other controlled by the government
Dubai: You have two cows. You create a ' Cow City ' or 'Milk Village ', advertise them in all the magazines, and set up a website.
You sell off the high end dairy products before the cows have even been milked.
Your investors hope to re -sell the non-existent milk for a 100% profit in two years time.
You fly Tiger Woods to Dubai for the first ceremonial milking of the cows to attract media attention, and arrange to have some highly endangered Tibetan Yaks shipped in to add to "the Cow City experience" .
Abu Dhabi: You have two cows. So what? We have Oil.

I saw that email this week too! Mine had some added extras:
America: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of
four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow dropped dead.
And, best of all:
Sharjah: You have two cows. You sell them to an investor in Dubai. The cows get stuck
in traffic between Sharjah to Dubai and die. You have zero cows now.
But yeah, 'we' have oil!!
