Herbivore Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 kind of strange that they don't have at least a net preventing something/someone from falling off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DITDxCULT Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 My step-father went to Dubai a couple years ago and showed me pictures of them building that hotel. It's pretty crazy to think that less than 20 years that place was totally deserted, then all of a sudden they found oil! Bada-bing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 holy shit.... I want to go to Dubai so badly. It's broken so many world records lately. It's like the little city that finally getting to play with the big boys. On of the records was the most people with the same name in the same place. They had something like 6000 Muhameds all chillin' out. Yo Muhamed! Sup Muhamed. This is Muhamed. How you doing Muhamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 they are trying to build the worlds tallest tower Burj Dubai is set to be the world's tallest building and the centerpiece of the Gulf regions most prestigious urban development. The Arabic meaning for the word Burj is 'tower', which gives Burj Dubai a meaning of 'Dubai Tower' or 'Tower of Dubai'. Burj Dubai will be constructed on Sheikh Zayed Road, just after the first interchange (Defense Roundabout). It is being developed by one of the region's leading real estate companies, EMAAR Properties, as part of its US $8 billion Downtown Dubai development project. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merril (SOM), with a base and geometry which were influenced by the six petal desert flower. Presently the title of the world's tallest building is held by Taiwan's Taipei 101 which is 508 meters tall. Burj Dubai exact height hasnt been disclosed by it has been confirmed that it will be over 700 meters. It is expected to be completed in 2008.

boogie hands Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 this morning was great. i was so happy to see that headline news had the time to report on this particular event. after all its not like syria and iran are trying to develop nuclear weapons....if they were i assume headline news would report on that. thank goodness thats not happening because a) that would be bad and b) i would be robbed of viewing absolute bullshit while i eat an omelet. not to say they arent tackling the serious issues....for example, they did report on complete fucking idiots who built multi million dollar houses on hills made of dirt in california....that shit broke my heart.
