Great architectural marvel, but it begs the question, why? There's so much space available to build on there's not a good reason to go up.

Except to say, "We did it"

The one I want to see work is the "Dynamic Tower" Another building that makes you ask "Why?" but it's just too cool.

The King of Dubai (I think he is the King) was on 60 minutes the other day and he did say that they wanted to have the biggest, tallest, most expensive and best of everything. He wanted Dubai to be known as the best place in the world.

He'd have to park the whole country in the middle of Texas to accomplish that and I don't think he's got that much money...Ben
