I remember reading about that study's methodology. It was..uh...interesting.

Good site.

I don't think that's the study I was originally referring to, its just the one I linked to when I couldn't find that one. The one I originally read was a PDF document of a several page article about the original research from WWII. The research definitely is along the same lines, though.

Isn't the Burj the world's tallest building? What's the view like? And for the first time I DON'T mean of the hotties :ols:

Currently, yes. Saudi Arabia is building the new world's tallest building.

Sunset from the top - straight ahead is the Burj Al Arab, to the very right is part of the World Islands, and off in the distance past the Burj Al Arab is Palm Islands with the Palm Hotel

View doesn't seem that impressive until you realize you're looking down at buildings which are probably 50+ floors tall.

that's true...I couldnt stay close to the edge, my hands were sweating like crazy....plus part of the observation deck is outside. The cars looked like little toys moving around from that high up.

The elevator was pretty cool though, my ears popped about 5 or 6 times and it only took about a minute to get to the top

That is insane. I got a little dizzy just looking at the video.

Yes, it shows

Also notice how much that area has been built up as well since that video was taken...it says it was taken in 2009 - 2 years later, a **** ton more buildings sprung up.

I got a call from Bank of America today, apparently someone got ahold of my debit card number. Luckily no money was taken, but I did have to close my accounts. They wouldn't tell me what was any the activity that led them to put the fraud alert on my account, but only that my account had been flagged for fraud.
