The world's biggest phallic symbol
Jan. 31st, 2009 09:25 pmI'm not utterly fascinated by very tall buildings, but I do find them interesting. As such, I continue to be deeply croggled by the degree to which the contest for "world's tallest building" has just been blown completely open by the Burj Dubai, a mixed-use office/apartment building which is scheduled to open for business later this year. At 818 m (approx. 2700 feet), it's almost as tall as both of the Twin Towers stacked on top of each other; its main structure is so much higher than any other building in the world that it's not even close:

Now the question is, how long until some deranged Tim McVeigh and ten of his buddies drive a plane into it in the name of restoring the fallen American empire?
