Lots of luck. Just big phalic symbols...rich boys playing "...mine is bigger than yours". When all is said and done, your still in the middle of a desert.

You know if this article had come out tomorrow, I would have been less surprised. Really? A mile high building? You gotta' be kidding me.

Question: If this building is being built somewhere other than the U.S., why are they building something "a mile high"? Why not 2.2 km? 1km? I thought no one but us used the English system.

Otherwise known as the English :wink:

This is ridiculous (the building)

Whatever, just another landmark to visit one day.

If I were that rich, and lived in a country with minimal labor costs and safety regulations, I'd build a stupid huge building too.

Actually they are going to have to get it a little "excited" in order to reach a mile. It is 30 ft. short.
