Incidentally, did you know that in Kuala Lumpur, they're digging a massive tunnel to divert annual river floodwaters and to carry traffic, but they have to dig it under the right-of-way of an existing major freeway, because under Malasian law property rights extend down to the center of the earth! So you can't just go tunneling under somebody's property--you're taking away their soil!
