Wanting his friends to be really mind-blown when entering his $330 million superyacht, this Saudi billionaire installed a 45-foot-long floor-to-ceiling interactive video wall on both sides of the passageway to create a grand entrance.

Considering the length of the corridor, the specialist had to account for the vessel’s natural torsional movements when installing the videowalls. The expertise of the engineers working on the project and the skills of Oceanco’s naval architects were required for it to work flawlessly. The other big challenge was to maintain the alignment of the LED panels.

If that was kamala’s boat, I wonder what image she’d put up on the screen.

—”one of at least thirteen wives of King Fahd”

Nothing but more trouble ... probably on the order of two to the thirteenth, compared to an ordinary twosome.

The old ones knew:
“The Man and His Two Wives” is an Aesop fable about a middle-aged man who has two mistresses, one older and one younger, who both try to make him look their age:
The younger mistress: Plucks out the man’s gray hairs so he looks younger
The older mistress: Plucks out the man’s dark hair so she doesn’t look older than him.
Between the two, he was left bald ...
The moral: It’s impossible to please everyone.

The wives only had to please one person.

Not that hard to install - I’ve worked on two of them in a local theatre. The mounting surface just needs to be very true (flat and smooth). We used engineered studs and cabinet grade plywood. Might be an issue on a boat if there is even a small amount of flexing happening under sail.

Still waiting for Bush to fulfill his promise that “the people that did this will hear from all of us soon!”

That’s what I did when I had my 330 million dollar yacht. Seemed pretty cool at the time.

I put a chocolate fountain in my 330 million dollar yacht. Also a nice wine rack, shag rug, and a couple of those frond-ie potted plants. Chicks dig that stuff.

A “retreating” color beige with a subtle texture variation and some incidental gilded frou-frou sprinkled sparsely along the way; just enough to keep people from bumping into the wall while they are admiring the big long TV.

Or something like that, maybe?

He should do a pic of Moses parting the Red Sea, complete with Charleton Heston standing at the end of the hallway.

Well ... er ... awkward ...

That could easily programmed.

Not a problem!

Moses is a prominent figure in the Quran, and is mentioned more than any other person in the text:

Name: Moses’s name appears 115–136 times in the Quran
Story: The Quran tells more of Moses’s life and work than any other prophet
Title: The Quran identifies Moses as a messenger of God, along with David, Jesus, and Muhammad
Book: The Quran says that Moses’s book is the Torah, or tawrat in Arabic.

Write a pitch to Waleed bin Ibrahim al Ibrahim about how cool and informative it would be...
Go for it!
