There's really not much to discuss, just lots of really big
buildings. The tallest is Burj Dubai in the United Arab
Emirates. It's currently a little over two thirds it's
planned height of 818 meters, but it's already the tallest
man-made structure anywhere. The drawings looked trashy to
me, but that was before I saw the Abraj Al Bait Towers. They're
being built across the street from the mosque in Makkah, of
all places. Can you believe that? Not the tallest, but the
biggest building ever! This might give you a
better idea of its scale.

And what about that Chicago Spire.. Keep checking back here
for updates!

Wow @ the Al Hamra tower, it looks like it's dancing. And
yes the Abraj al Bait complex is a real one-man-gang.

That first one is so big it looks like it would disrupt the
earth's rotation if you put a giant sail on it.

They "topped out" that first skyscraper, the Burj Dubai,
this weekend. LAZY_TITLE It is very tall and shiny, I
wonder what it must feel like to live inside of it.
