I'm bored so I thought I'd post something a little interesting.
Burj Dubai is now officially the world's tallest man made structure. Went past the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, USA former record holder.
At the moment it's around 650m or so tall (Still under construction) and its going to reach past 800m.
The official height have not been revealed yet. Estimated to reach around 820m tall.
Some pics below.... (This building is massive!!!!)

thats hardcore!
check out how small the other skyscrapers are in the background, and they are probably @ least 40 stories high!!
Holy crap, thats amazing...
Shut up when I'm talkin' to you, you hear me, answer me!
Burj Dubai is going to be at least 180 stories high!! (I think, not sure)
90% of the workers there are Indians working day and night. They don't go home, They sleep IN the building because it take too long to go all the way down and up to the top!!!!
You could parachute off the top FTW!!!
that would be awesome. im bookin a trip to dubai on a base jumping holiday.
read about this a while back.. any budding young architects or engineers... its the place to be over there.
alot the designs are really extreme as far as modern architecture go, alot of creativity flowing around thats for sure.

Yeah, you need balls to go up there and operate the crane!!!!
Just heard the news that a British base jumper climbed up the stairs to 150th floor without being spotted by a security guard!! He landed safely by also landed in court! LOL.
