Well the tower formerly known as the Burj Dubai and soon to be seen in the newest M:I 3 will lose its claim to being 'The Biggest' with the newly planned Kingdom Tower to be built in Saudi Arabia.

How long until we get Arthur C. Clarke's 'Space Elevators'?

I swear that thing is a disaster waiting to happen...

Nope, because every time Cruise tries to off himself (thinking he'll wake up in a new body somewhere), the SeaOrg agents drag him out of the flat and promptly resuscitate him. Through yoghurt diets and protoblood transfusion, they'll make him serve out his billion-year contract whether he wants to or not.

Oh wait, you meant the elaborate buildings? I hope I get to visit one of them. Have a Tom Collins at the top.
I love it how the article describes how the new tower will be "3280 feet". You know, instead of saying it will be 1 Kilometer, 1000 meters, a much more random and jagged number.

Bit hard to judge from that limited number of angles, but it at least looks more interesting than the Burj. And Boba Fett will finally have somewhere to park Slave 1 next time he's in Saudi Arabia.

Boba Fett parks whereever he pleases.
