Arab sheikh carves two-miles-long name in sand until it's visible from SPACE

"Every child has written their names on the beach at some point.  But whereas most people's 'sandwriting' is washed away, one super-rich Arab sheikh has ensured that his doodles will last a little longer.  Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, 63, has scrawled his name in sand on an island he owns with letters so big they can be seen from space."
