Although I think       I had vaguely heard of some arcology project in Sa'udi Arabia, but not one       named "The Line".       However, buildings of this nature do exist, even if not on quite such a       scale; I do remember reading of single buildings containing whole       communities in Finland.              John Savard              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
