HAMAD seen from space

Billionaire sheikh carves his name in desert so big it can be seen from SPACE.

Workmen scoured "HAMAD" into the sand on the orders of Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan.

The name is two miles across — with letters a kilometre high. It is so huge that the "H", the first "A" and part of the "M" have been made into waterways.

The mega-rich sheikh, 63 — a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi — in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates — boasts a £14billion fortune that is second only to the Saudi king's.

His fleet of more than 200 cars — including seven Mercedes 500 SELs painted in different colours of the rainbow — is housed in a custom-built pyramid.

If I were an eccentric billionaire I'd do some crazy shit like that too.

Like buy the state of Oklahoma and write TEXAS GUN TALK on it in really big letters. Cuz why not.

Nice to know all the money I'm paying at the pump is going to Sheiks who do worthwhile things with their money. Guess I can't complain, should just be thankful he didn't use it to fund some jihad/holy war.

Here's the Texas version. Story I heard was a guy that sold firewood had his crew leave his last name standing. Letters look to be about 1000 yards tall and almost 2 miles long.
