    America had long held the record for the worlds tallest building, at one time The Empire State Building ( 381 mts or 1,250 ft ), followed by The World Trade Center ( RIP ) ( 417 mts or 1,368 ft ) and then The Sears Tower in Chicago ( 442 mts or 1,451 ft ), however, since 1998 the Sears Tower has been eclipsed by taller buildings, none of which are in America and now making Sears only the 5th highest building on the planet.



    TRUE or FALSE ?



    cool



    Enough of this one.

    TRUE!


    The worlds tallest building is the BURJ DUBAI in Dubai, it's still incomplete but is already 1,680 ft high.

    That's right! I saw this when I looked information up. I'll have to look up some more to see what the definition is?

    When completed the Burj Dubai will be well over 2000 ft shocked

    The tallest man of whom there is irrefutable evidence was Robert Pershing Wadlow of Alton, Illinois USA ( 1918 - 1940 ), 8 feet 11.1 inches when he died aged just 22. Weighing 8 1/2 Ib at birth his abnormal growth began almost immediately, he was 5 feet 4 inches at 5 years old, 6 feet 5 inches at 10 years old, 7 feet 8 inches at 15 years old.

    This record still stands to this day.



    TRUE or FALSE ?

    Oops! Missed this.

    OK, I WAS gonna say FALSE as I seem to remember that there's a bloke in Russia who is huge now, even bigger than that Chinese bloke who saved the dolphins (can't remember his name, but don't want to look it up to spoil the challenge) when I saw the size...almost THREE METERS?

    That's probably TRUE then (if this is the bloke I remember they called "the gentle giant", or "gentleman giant" or something like that) as doctors at the time weren't able to stop gigantism then as they can (sort of) now! Otherwise the Russian and Chinese bloke would have grown as tall (if not taller).

    I'm sticking with TRUE.

    Ah, OK. I don't believe the Russian (Ukranian?) guy is that tall, so I'll stick with my first hunch.

    Just to keep this alive until I can think of a decent question...

    Here's five things to do with me.....

    1) Someone once shot me with a gun

    2) I once did a death defying leap over a cravasse

    3) I saw a dog eating the body of a child

    4) I once accidentally trod on the Dalai Lama's foot

    5) A "friend" once spiked me with amphetimines


    Only ONE of the above is NOT true....which one?

    We'll see?


    I'd be interested to see if anyone else would like to do a similar question(s) after I reveal my answer, I know Thor likes these kinds of "personal" threads.

    Sure...but you kinda raised the bar, mate!

    I'm also thinking 4 or 1. Actually I think it's 4 but for the sake of diverse guesses I'll say 1. spin

    Very true, Martijn!

    Tim, I'm hoping that #3 is not true!

    I'm guessing 3 is true, not something you make up really. I'd say 4 is false?

    I can't even think of an unbelievable thing I exerienced, only perhaps the fact that being myself is quite unbelievable.

    I think 4 is the fake one as well.
    If not, I'll shoot you with a gun myself. biggrin wink
