I bet two drunk Talibaners could take a nose dive at 900 MPH and pick a penny off the roof.

Nah, that could only happen in the US.

They are putting a mosque in it to protect it from the religious whack jobs...

[boutons_deux]

Shia, or Shiite? :)

I stood next to this monster. Its crazy tall!!! :dizzy

[Blue Jew]

Finally a place where you can take your drivers license picture on the top floor and by the time you reach the first floor its waiting for you.

[Blue Jew]

Rumor has it the window washer's on the top floor are only 10 years old because by the time they reach the bottom they qualify for Social security benefits.

[Blue Jew]

Just think you can smoke weed in the elevator and you get to the job interview on the top floor still pass the drug test.

[benefactor]

I saw this on the Amazing Race. Pretty impressive.

[Blue Jew]

Finally a job where you can have unprotected sex in the elevator and still have time to get an abortion before your lunch break is over.

[Blue Jew]

So if you want to leave the building and eat at the Wendy's across the street you have to use one of your vacation days?


Is this thing on?..............

What happens when you drop a penny from the top of it?

[baseline bum]

What happens when you drop a penny from the top of it?

It reaches terminal velocity (maybe 100mph) and then stops accelerating.

[I. Hustle]

That doesn't sound funny.

No Shiite!

Just think if Blockbuster was on the top floor by the time you get to the lobby the DVD you rented is now playing on TBS.

It would become a priceless collectible By the time it reaches the bottom since 50 years earlier we started using bar codes on our arms to purchase food.

[I. Hustle]

Just think if Gold's had a gym on the first floor these to could work out together there.

yeah it had nothing to do with how long it would take to get to the bottom.

That place is so tall by the time you get to work you have to change the calender to the next year.

[Blue Jew]

That building is so tall women who work on the top floor need at least 6 tampon boxes for the elevator ride, one box for each month.

Is that dry enough?

[Vertigo]

Whoah.......

[Blue Jew]

It's almost as big as my penis!

Is that including the foreskin?

[Blue Jew]

I take it that brisk joke was over your heads?

[Frenzy]

this place wants attention so bad... look at me look at me... we can make a big building where half of it is empty.

they could probably fit that whole picture's inhabitants into the building, including all their possessions (well, maybe not) and still have shit loads of room to spare. It almost looks like a gargantuan spaceship that landed here from 2250 AD or so.

[Slydragon]

Let me try a lame joke on this,

If this thing was in the USA and you jump from top our slow ass homeland security would still have time to dispatch Jets and intercept you before you hit the ground.

And finally, crude photo shopping

There are already plans for a Mile-high building to be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and even talk of a 2 mile-high 1 mile-wide building called the Ultima tower.

lol...read my mind.

[Drachen]

I don't think that Dubai is broke. I believe that Dubai is the emerati that just lent the other emerati money to keep it from going broke.

[Jacob1983]

Being able to see that tower and go inside it and to the top kinda makes me want to visit Dubai. Is Dubai considered to be one of the safe or dangerous places in the Middle East?

Abu Dhabi bailed out Dubai.

[Drachen]

You are correct. I had them flipped.

[z0sa]

[The Gemini Method]

The Ultima Tower sounds like a level in a Final Fantasy game...

[TDMVPDPOY]
