I'm almost hesitant to link this post seeing how incredibly unbelievable it is and that tomorrow is April Fools Day. Apparently some oil tycoon billionaire is planning to construct the worlds tallest building, dwarfing the current #1 by nearly 3000 ft. The new building is going to be constructed in Saudi Arabia and will total 5250 ft high. Yup, 30 ft. short of a mile. A freaking mile tall!
Once again, my apologies if this turns out not to be true but was too incredible not to pass along.

and to stop 30 ft short? LAME
Sincerely doubt it, but it would be cool. There are serious engineering issues when buildings break above 800 feet, let alone 5000. Plus that would be a nightmare to keep terrorism away.
Im skeptical too nate. however, if 800 ft is where things get tricky, yet the Dubai tower is 2300 ft... who knows.
maybe he is compensating for something? Good to see you the other night at the concert. You were right, they are great live.
