    A) If it's the tallest, widest penis in the world, it's already impressive.
    B) That embarassing oversized treehouse is anything but impressive.

      It will remain so for 2 weeks before being overcome by the OMFGZORZULTIMATESKYSCRAPEROFZOMG from some country looking for attention. The only way for the new WTC not to look stupid in front of the competition is to look original. Originality, not size, is what makes the "sail" famous. It'll be what would make the new WTC famous.

      B) That embarassing oversized treehouse is anything but impressive.

      Granted. But the "torch" of the old design was great, and now they have replaced it with an antenna of sheer boringness

        Yeah, the antenna sucks. Btw, looking original can sometimes suck.

            But the old design didn't look like furries, so it makes it all ok

              Well, that's because Taipei 101 cheatily counts that spire-like thing.

              IMO, if you want to build the tallest building, make it undisputably the tallest. Don't cheat with spires and such.

                The Burj Dubai, which should be completed in the next three years, is gonna PWN everything. It will beat the old record-holders by hundreds of feet. I think it's a hundred fifty floors or something. I'm not sure exactly, but the point is that the UAE is going for broke on this.

                        The WTCs had 110 floors, the Empire State Building has 101 floors, Taipei 101 has 106, and the Sears Tower has 108. The Petronas towers are only 88.

                        The Burj Dubai will have a 124th floor observation deck...

                        And then there will be thirty-six floors above that.

                          I like Trump's proposal: just rebuild the old WTC towers.
