The top of the tower.... can be expected to shit 0.0? That's a bit crazy...

Shift XD I believe this is the worst spelling mistake ever. WOW. And of course it was made by me >.>

Saudi Arabia. HA! Wonderful to see what that $100 per barrel of oil is going into, eh? Why not post some pictures of the Shiques palaces, too.

-Going Down?

but would't it be cool to have sth like that in your neighborhood?
it would spoil any view you had from your roof/balcony/whatever though...

Actually I find the movement of tall buildings fascinating. All tall buildings shift with the wind, they are engineered to do so, and even were it possible to do otherwise it might not be wise to do so for cost and even longevity reasons. The Empire State Building needle apparently sways as much as 1m during high winds.

The elevator will take 2 mins to travel a mile? And I always thought elevators were slow.

Why do they even need a mile high building? If they need office space, then just expand into the desert a bit and build a wider short building.
