Highest person in the world

One has to ask: "why"?

What does the tallest building in the world signify, exactly?

You dont understand "Big Dick" contests. Its a guy thing.

Actually, I strongly suspected it had something to do with The Big Dick Syndrome, farmer. I was just looking for some verification. Thank you!

The Science Channel had a documentary on yesterday showing the history of the construction of the tower. Just from what I saw in that documentary, anyone who decides to purchase real estate in or near that tower is a fool. There are so many defects being covered up and construction shortcuts being done to keep the project on schedule, that it won't take very much to topple it.

That wage that he's paid is not particularly spectacular for men in that field.

Actually, I don't think he's the 'highest.' Whoever is climbing Mt. Everest this week is probably higher up. Another guy thing. Reason I've never been tempted to climb Everest (ar anything else in the Himalayas) is because it's there.

If this weren't the tallest building in the world, you wouldn't be talking about it right now. That's the obvious reason to build the world's tallest building, for the marketing windfall. Other than that there's the significant engineering challenge. This is a part of human nature that I love, and is little different from those who want to push their limits in a marathon, or those who wanted a man on the moon. There doesn't have to be a reason for many people other than the challenge itself, and that's a wonderful (IMO) thing about human nature.

I think the phallus theory is simplistic pseudo-psychology (I guess this reveals where I stand in the Freud Wars) at its worst and the folk who take any large cylinder and bring up the cliché penis theories are the ones with dick on their mind. Buildings are shaped that way for very simple reasons that really have nothing to do with penises.

He LIVES up there????


That is amazing....

after reading gungasnake's posts, i'd say he's the highest person in the world

hiya & higher

Here's the schedule of broadcasts for the Build It Bigger episode on the tower, if anyone is interested in watching it:

Highest building is shown in that picture. Robert Wadlow is the tallest person in the word.
