replicant Member 180 Member For: 19y 2m 15d Posted 04/01/06 04:00 AM Share Posted 04/01/06 04:00 AM The tallest building in the world is in Taiwan, has 101 stories and is imaginatively named Taiwan 101. At 508 metres tall, it has elevators that rise at up to 55 ft per second or about 60 km/h (no seatbelts either!)Taiwan is in an earthquake and tropical storm zone and the structure has a spherical mass damper on the 88th floor which weighs more than 50 metric tonnes.By the way, there's a building under construction in Dubai that's planned to exceed 800m in height and is schedule to be finished in around 2008.

jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 7m 14d Posted 04/01/06 04:53 AM Share Posted 04/01/06 04:53 AM Ok I'll do my bit to add to the list off totally useless and not so intriguing infoDid You Know?............Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled"Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF enteredintothe English language.In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat hiswife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule ofthumb" The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fredand Wilma Flintstone. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.Coca-Cola was originally green.It is impossible to lick your elbow.The State with the highest percentage of people who walk to work: AlaskaThe cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $6,400 Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king fromhistory: Spades - King David Hearts - Charlemagne Clubs -Alexander, the Great Diamonds - Julius Caesar111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs inthe air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in theair the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horsehas all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of their birthplaceQ.What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, andlaser printers all have in common?A. All invented by women. (They forgot selective hearing) In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmerto sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for amonth after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law withall the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because theircalendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month . which weknow today as the honeymoon. Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked intothe rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill,they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phraseinspired by this practice.Sufficiently overdosed on useless info.............Good ....................................
