Talk about cockasaurus envy! The Burj Khalifa, known in devolpment as the Burj Dubai, officially opened today. It is the tallest building in the world. It is 341 metres taller than the next tallest building ever made. So what do you think? Personally, I'm fascinated by giant buildings and other engineering feats. But this one looks ugly. And it's ridiculously big. It's almost asking for a terrorist attack, except that it's already in a middle-eastern country. Discuss. EDIT: And before you go there, let me beat you with "that's what she said!" |

The thing looks like something I made in Simcity 2000's building editor as a kid. There's something to be said about engineering feats and them not mattering if it's not pleasant to look at. Unfortunately I can't say much more than that, since I don't know anything else about the building.
