I dunno bout that, but that fucking thing might hit the moon

Plus, how the fuck are they gonna get that crane down?

[Echewta]

Perfect target! Even someone with only a computer flight simulator experience could barrel into that one. On that havic on the ground below.

as a cost of business, that crane is pennies of the total worth/cost of constructing the building. shit, they could throw that fucker off for what its worth

[Myu-to]

Dabai, dummy.

I read this really interesting article about crane operators. They make bucks, man. But they've got, like, a 40 minute climb just to get up there,
then they either have to hold their bowels for 10 hours or else use a bucket for a toilet, etc. I guess part of te deal is that it takes so long to
get up there and back down that companies don't want to pay someone all that time for climbing, so you just stay up there all day, etc.

[Bob]

i heard they ran into difficulty with the construction; about halfway through, everyone started speaking different languages, and nobody could understand each other! so they just fired the crew and hired a bunch of immigrants to finish it

does dubai get immigrants? that joke would work better if this were an american building. GET ON IT AMERICA

i once had a job like that only instead of a crane operator i was a ski lift attendant, and i got paid minimum wage

Dubai, dammy.

Easy there fucktoe, or instead operating that crane, I might operate this CRANE!!! (http://www.citynoise.org/upload/9912.jpg)

UPSIDE YOUR ASS!!!

Edit: That goes for you too, TAL.

I've got the super-sized can of whoopass, and there's enough for the whole class.

[jackrock]

Completion? Didn't they design it so they could add floors when ever they please? (ie, when someone tries to build a bigger one).

awesome, if true

[Bjork]

they've completed being the largest building in the world for now.

[mr_rottentreats]

looks fake to me

[funk63]

EPIC fail

[Freebasser]

You could lean out of a window on the top floor and take a holy fucking shit and when it hit somebody on the street it would kill them and then they would die.

[Bjork]

or an egg.

[Burnout18]

when its time to cash out, im jumping off that building

Babble on, Bob.

[b i o n i c]

this is like when bmw came out with that 318ti, all of a sudden everyone was rollin big. besides the fact that the whole point of skyscrapers was to add space to a small amount of ground, like how manhattan is 23 square miles, they had to. what a bunch of dumbasses. they're in the middle of a fucking endless desert and all they can think of is how to be like everyone else. we should start building straight down. try that, MR. We-live-in-a-desert-and-our-bedrock-is-a-mile-deeper-than-yours!

[mate_spawn_die]

FUUUUUUUUCK THAT. you won't see me on that thing.

[na§tee]

that is UNHOLY.

[Randetica]

reminds me of paddy's penis

[jackrock]

that is UNHOLY.

Tell that to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (one person).

[roosta]

how tall is it? how many floors?

i dunno about floors but its a good 1,000 feet higher than the current highest (the Taipei) and more than that of the Sears / WTC Towers.

[kaiser soze]

Thank god Hummer helped build this thing!

[Bob]

fucking kuala lumpur is beating us??? i don't even know where that is! pick up the slack america, we need to show off our building boner to the world

[Bjork]

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40666000/gif/_40666936_tallest_building2.gif

Nice graph.

I was never impressed by both Sears and Empire State building, the additional 1,000 feet on the Dubai building is weak.

If it had more girth, then i would be impressed.

my wang is bigger

[rirv]

I think it's pretty lazy to just stick a big metal pole on the top of all these buildings to make it taller. If they put a crow's nest on the top of that pole however and a little rope ladder to get to it, that would get some more respect.

[kaiser soze]

Better yet an ice cream shop!

[Echewta]

god might get a poke in the behind soon if we keep this up.

I think in this case it would be Allah.

I'd hate to be their window washer.

[roosta]

hey I've been there! Dubai is freakin redunk...

[Bjork]

I want to have sex there.

I heard they have underwater hotel rooms.

[Loppfessor]

Redunk...it's kind of like redic(ulous) but even crazier!

jesus. You thought the burj dubai is going to be big.

Check out the Al Burj.

[Randetica]

http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/instanbul_underwater.jpg

it looks awesome but what if the glass breaks and you wake up next to a whale?

[Freebasser]

It would be ok, because it's a CGI render, so you could just respawn and enter the "breathe underwater" cheat.

[Bjork]

The Al Burj is ugly, looks like a large elevator.

I wonder how thick the glass is to withhold the water pressure.

[Freebasser]

It is 3 pixels thick. Occasionally there are some clipping issues, but other than that, it's pretty waterproof.

[Bob]

it looks awesome but what if the glass breaks and you wake up next to a whale?

ah yes, waking up to a whale, i think we all know what that's like am i right fellas? eh? EH??? AM I RIGHT!!!!

[Bjork]

how do they get the water out once it is built? a straw?

[Freebasser]

They send out a beta version and then have playtesters point out any possible points where water enters, and once they drown, they respawn to the forward assualt base and report their findings, whereupon an engineer is sent out to complete the objective, ju NO0B!

[Bjork]

ah yes, waking up to a whale, i think we all know what that's like am i right fellas? eh? EH??? AM I RIGHT!!!!

Like you'd know.

[Bob]

whoops! you caught me

i have a game genie that i can attach to my dick that gives me infinite stamina

[Freebasser]

There's a joke about dicks and hygiene there somewhere.

[Bob]

There's a joke about dicks and hygiene there somewhere.

i have a code for that too

[rirv]

I used to live in Dubai, but that was the 80s and it was never that good. I remember geckos, fish markets, dust, beach on Christmas Day, the souk - but no big massive Towers of Babel.

[ericlee]

supposedly, this is going to be built in kuwait city. It's not as tall as the burj or anything but it looks awesome.

it reminds me of gay pr0n

[abcdefz]

It's pretty phallic, if penises could actually bend like that.

[Randetica]

[abcdefz]

But two penii braided like a loaf of bread?
