Taipei 101 Now World's Tallest Building

Posted by michael on from the spires-are-cheating dept.

mstamat writes "A 101-storey skyscraper in Taipei is from today the world's tallest building. The new scyscraper is 508 metres (1,667 feet) tall, beating the 452-metre (1,483-feet) twin Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur. The full height was achieved after adding a 60-metre (197-ft) spire on top of the building. The story is on Reuters." There's plenty of information about the building available.

    Also, any odds on how long it'll be before they're flying helicopters around this and shooting at giant primates clutching big-breasted and scantily-clad women?

    oh yeah, and first post.
