3. I must be crazy because I don't think they look alike at all.

They are both tall buildings. :shrug:

4. I'm goin' with the T Bab

Elevators are deadly -- I'm cruisin' down those outside slopes and splashing into the Noah flood deal.

They happened about the same time, right? Like the walls of Jericho and the pillar of salt thingy?

5. Doesn't Bush have a couple of ports in Dubai?

[stevedeshazer]

6. Well, we know for sure he had an "open port" in Camp David yesterday.

He may also have had a bottle of port and a couple of Dubees tonight.

7. Those awful Babylonians!

How dare they all speak the same language and claim they don't need the Lord Our God^TM. Thanks be praised, old Yahweh smashed that tower and forced them all to speak in so many tongues they couldn't understand each other. What an awesome thing to do!


</sarcasm>

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Actually, it looks more like my personal salute to BushCo et al.

11. It certainly resembles a ziggurat.

I wonder who's going to occupy the top level...where the priest's temple was in the ziggurats of ancient history.

Cool comparison.

13. There is certainly gratuitous conspicuous consumption in Dubai:

14. Cheney et al are rumoured to have moved large amounts of capital over there.

I guess they will retire to be closer to the HQ of their employer Haliburton.

15. I believe it.
