Thank you, I stand corrected. I'm not apposed to capitalism, heck I'm a whore/prostitute to it. Just thought creating floating crap, that has a big maintenance cycle, and you really don't own a damn thing to be a stupid thing to do. But as someone once said, "there's a sucker born every second".

The Uros people of Peru came up with the idea a long time ago.

I was in Puno a few years ago. They make the isalnds out of reeds and can be moved around with the canoes. You just have to be carefull when you invited the neighbours over for a barbeque!...Poof!
