Indoor Ski Resort in Dubai: Ski Dubai

Also saw this on Discoveries this Week. This is insane. I'm sure this exists elsewhere but I haven't heard of it -- and what makes this even more amazing is that the outdoor temperature in Dubai can get to 120 degrees F. Check this out... Ski Dubai

I just saw this on Science Channel's "Discoveries this Week" show -- getting electricity from the up & down motion of a buoy from off-shore waves.
