World's Tallest Building
The world's tallest structure is currently the KVLY TV mast in North Dakota. This uninspired metal rod clock's in at 2,063 ft. That's compared to say the Sears Tower which is a measly 1,729 ft if you count the antenna on top. One of my faithful readers pointed this out to me.
Apparently Dubai is not only in the business of building artificial islands, but they are also constructing the world's tallest structure. The Burj Dubai's finished height is being kept a secret due to a number of competitors eyeing the title of tallest. The Freedom Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, Port Tower and Chicago's Spire are all in the running, but the Burj Dubai is the only one that is actually under construction. The theoretically height guessed by independent architects places the Burj Dubai at around 3,000 ft, but it's currently less than half done at 1,291 ft.
Once finished, the Burj Dubai will be a luxury hotel where I'm sure they will put Dramamine on your pillow instead of mints.
