Why do I feel like that should be the world headquarters for chiropractors?

 

[LoKyBuckeye]

Here's another fucked up building, the Stata Center, just down the street from my office....

Architect: Frank Gehry

That's really interesting and everything, but just give me traditional buildings. I still cannot believe some of the new architecture in a city as old and classical as Boston.

Yes, but this is at MIT, where they are making an attempt to be innovative and cool. Geeks.

Holy shiznit! Check out the 160-story Burj Dubai tower under construction in Dubai, UAE. The official height has not been released, and remains secret. The total height of 705 meters (2,313 ft) is subject to change.

Isn't this part tautologous?

Burj Dubai will become the world's tallest building, along with the world's tallest man-made structure when it is completed.

That huge Mililani, are people going to be living in that huge building and it looks like it's going to take a few to build

Isn't this part tautologous?

No. Broadcast transmission towers, etc., are also considered as man-made structures. I think there are a couple transmission towers that are taller than any buildings in the world, and thus the comment that Burj Dubai will also be the tallest man-made structure.

And I should ding yer ass for making me look up "tautologous"...
