Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 05, 2012

I wonder..what are the statistics for earthquakes in that area? Is there bedrock under the sand? At some point the physics of taller and taller buildings may not be safe, although it looks reasonable and safe ‘on paper’. There are so many variables to take into consideration. I’ll stick to visiting buildings the height of the Empire State Building, and lower.

Are we being told the “hole” truth?

Better get that tower finished before they run out of oil.

Have there been quakes in Arabia?

Didn’t we try to build a tower in that region years ago. From what I read, it didn’t work out very well.

Great comments today!

I wonder if, after the covers were blessed, there was a drop in their theft.

will they include infrastructure for this tower or, like in Dubai, will they have hundreds of trucks, daily, hauling away sewage for treatment?

Well, the good news is that they’ll run out of oil soon, and they’ll rule over a penniless, stone-age desert!

One civil engineer stated that anything over 80 stories is for show.

That’s a glowing report about the fire-breathing shrimp!

Did the priest use ‘holey’ water?

How silly, blessing man hole covers! The Catholic Church has always given true Christianity and true Christians a bad name!

Won’t the top of that tower sway in the air some?
