"BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq is calling on companies to submit designs to build a giant Ferris wheel in Baghdad—the latest in a string of lavish proposals painting the capital as a leisure friendly city.
"The pyramid shape was known as the ‘Benben’ to the ancients. The top part of an obelisk (pyramid shape) is known as the ‘Benben Stone’. Briefly, the Benben is symbolic of the marker point where the ancient Sun God RA landed on dry land after being guided there, in a solar boat, by Nun the God of the watery chaos. The pyramid shape represents the very first mound of Earth formed and ruled over by Ra. This Benben or pyramid shape is said to have rose out of the water."
"Symbolically a Ferris wheel on or near water, and one that can be shaped into a pyramid, represents Ra rising out of the watery chaos. The circle symbolises a solar disc (The Sun). The ancients believed everything was created from the chaos which was symbolised by dark waters. The Ferris wheel, or should I say the illuminated symbolism on the Ferris wheel, is over the sea on the pier at Blackpool, therefore the symbolism on the wheel, especially the pyramid shape shown on the wheel below, can be interpreted as the first mound of earth rising from the watery chaos."
The Ferris wheel, dubbed the Baghdad Eye, will soar more than 650 feet over the city and feature air-conditioned compartments that would each carry up to 30 passengers, Baghdad municipal spokesman Adel al-Ardawi said Wednesday."

Food, justice, oil at decent prices? Screw that! FERRIS WHEELS! We'll give them ferris wheels.
Ok my bet on the Baghdad one is 1 week before it gets blown up.
Baghdad as a vacation spot? They're joking, right? "Yellowcake"-flavored snowcones for the kiddies as well.
What is this business with Ferris Wheels. I assume they'll all start spinning at once in some high-tech version of HGWells Time-Machine.
An odd one with Barack as JFK I did a post called TWIN RUNNING-MATES which features the bodyguard who clambered on the back of the freshly-assassinated President's limousine - he's named CLINTON HILL.
By the time baghdad gets rebuilt it'll be in the EU
Cheers
