I know some people are building one in Dubai that will be pretty big (this one's interior is being designed by Giorgio Armani himself).. if not the biggest..

I am guessing there is one in Dubai anyway.. the one that looks like a sail on a boat.. ?

I know what one you are talking about, but it's not completed yet.

The one that looks like a sail is.. I saw Tiger Woods hit golf balls off the roof..

The one that Armani is doing the interior for is a different one and will be compleated in 2008 I think.

Don't know if the last Q was solved totally, but anyhow, here is the next:

How did the ancient Japanese blacksmiths test their swords on being efficient 'meat-slicers'?

Umm they had someone hold a peice of meat and then they cut at it, while it was being held up...

in other words no idea..

Tameshigiri.

Ceterum censeo OTF esse delendam.

Right on the use of meat, but it was a little more extreme

They did what I said blindfolded...

Condemned criminals and cadavers.

Right you are! They piled up at least 3 bodies and used the sword on that. If it would not cut through the first cadaver, the blade was rubbish. Cutting through the top carcass and in to the second proved the sword to be of good quality and splitting 3 bodies in one strike displayed a masterfully made blade.
