Something else I never thought I'd see..


There are several man-made lakes around here. One of them has not one, but 2 sunken house boats. Well, I guess they really are party barges. They look like something from Aladdin. Good ole Saddam liked to compare himself to leaders from the ancient past. You can see that in the architecture of the buildings and some of the art work. The Roman emperor Caligula had 2 giant party barges on a lake in Italy—I wonder if Saddam got the idea from him?
