People like to be the best. The biggest. To have the most.
That tendency extends to nations as well.
Malaysia had the tallest building(s) in the world for a while – the Petronas Towers (shown). Now government leaders there are talking about building a taller skyscraper. Curiously, it won’t be the tallest in the world. I guess they decided that would be too expensive.
Browser failure – inability to comment. So I comment on my brother’s behalf… Yankee Hotel Foxtrot – that album cover is a lot like my photo for today: http://www.google.com/images?q=Yankee+Hotel+Foxtrot
I guess that building in Dubai has pushed skyscraper height beyond what is reasonable to match. And now they’re broke or something.
Maybe everyone else is admitting defeat.
And maybe Dubai should. Or has been forced to admit defeat (in another way).
