#1 Considering everything that's going on the Muddled East right now, are they sure there's even going to be a Qatar in 2022?

#3 This is probably just an oddly shaped balloon, with a little extra lift from the four fans, which also give a downward air current. With a four point tether to the stadium, I can imagine it working. Think "inflatable roof".

#4 Or parasail. That was my first thought, the artist forgot to draw the tethers. Interesting wind/thermal currents in, around, because of stadiums.

To tell the truth, first thought was sand storm.

Qatar has an ecology? Frank Herbert would be impressed.

#8 It has an ecology, but no intelligent life.

And still manages to produce and broadcast Al Jazeera 24/7.

#9 So cool - lets see the GOODYEAR BLIMP do that!

versus

* PRAVDA = THIRD WORLD WAR TO BEGIN DURING WINTER GAMES IN 2014 [Sochi = 2014 Winter Olympics], as per various RUSSIAN SEERS, ASTROLGERS, PROGNOSTICATORS, etc.

> AFRICAN REVOLUTIONS will devol steadily taowards RUSSIA.
> MASS PROTESTS to occur in CENTRAL ASIA.
> BRAID-HAPPY UKRAINIAN BABE to covertly rule Russia behind the facade, Power + Authority, of her Hubby a PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA???
> RUSSIA WILL SURVIVE + PREVAIL WHILE OTHERS FAIL OR COLLAPSE.
