Default Saudi prince to build world's tallest skyscraper.

Well looks official.
Saudi billionaire Prince AlWaleed Bin Talal has just signed a $1.2 billion dollar agreement with the Bin Laden group to start building the world's tallest building.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/...est-tower.html

Kingdowm Tower will surpass Burj Khalifa as the tallest building.

They innitially wanted it to stand 1 mile high but had to come down a bit , now it's just a measely kilometer high.

Wink Re: Saudi prince to build world's tallest skyscraper.


That is going to be a really big prick...no not prick...or penis, whats the word I'm not thinking of...building. Along with erecting the worlds tallest monument to a mans "kingdom" it may also be the most pointless and least structurally safe if work is to begin immediately (it just seems like the kind of thing you should think through first).

All that building and it would only take one man with a van full of ANFO to bring it down. Didn't Al Qaeda open a branch in neighboring Yemen?

Yup. Right between the Halifax and Natwest. I've heard their interest rates are shit though.
