ECCE HOMO! I think about

ECCE HOMO!

I think about this.

Gobekli Tepe just blows my mind!

13,000 years of building edifices; edifices that count!

And at the same link I discussed the art; the art is fabulous from those ancient times and beyond.

Some skyscrapers--whether engineered correctly or not--blow my mind.

The height and the elegance. I am a poor peasant who must look up and exclaim:

ECCE HOMO!

I do not know the purpose behind each edifice. I mean the Empire State Building was built by a man who went bankrupt building it.

The Saudis have more money than God for chrissakes!

I must admire what man has built.

At what cost?

I dunno.

The Saudi Kingdom Tower project is already supposed to reach 1,000m. They wanted to go a mile high, but scaled back.

I saw that we've passed the 800m mark. What do you place as the odds that we'll pass the 1km mark in the next 30 years or so?

Rats. I love Deodato, and there were a few buildings on the list that were new to me.

I'm guessing you omitted an "s" in the fourth spot and not a "p" in the seventh.
