My sister in law lives in Dubai, she says the thing is stupid fuckng tall. Supposedly, it barely has any tenants. They build shit over there in some "who's dick is bigger" fashion and they have no one to live or work in them, they just do it to do it, which is why they needed a bailout in Dubai

That is absolutely nuts.... I will not be going up in that building.

Wonder how long before TP get's Red Bull $$ to let him jump off the damn thing.

They are building real estate in hopes that when the oil runs out tourism will come. It's a rich mans playground I guess.

They have a nice F1 track though.

I went to Vegas and did the merry go round ride that swings you out over a parking lot. That was kind of trippy because you look down and there's your feet and then a parking lot about 400 feet down. I worried about losing my shoes and just how good are the inspectors on this ride?

That's on the Stratosphere and you're up about a 1000 feet at the ride level. That thing sways like a MFer in the wind. Can't image what 2500 feet would be like in a sand storm.
