Uh, it's your turn to go get it.




Can you imagine getting whacked with a tennis ball falling from that height?

That's so scary shite.

I love that hotel. It looks like a lit up sail at night, it even changes colors. Unfortunately it is really expensive to stay there, tens of thousands of dollars per night. Not to mention the trek to the United Arab Emirates.

Its an island dude. You'd have to be swimming

Or maybe standing near the base of the hotel. :P

It's OK, they use special "Floating" tennis balls, just like the floating golf balls they use over at the Hilton driving range. :lol: :lol:

That has TSUNAMI written all over it ...

I like the BBC caption:

"After losing the hotel's supply of balls, the day comes to an abrupt end for the pair - all that is left is finding a way of getting down"

Wait... the building's gonna create a Tsunami? or maybe the tennis balls when they hit the water?

Man!!! Are we all awake this morning .... :lol:

A tsunami in Dubai? That would be a first...i suppose its possible...I'd be more worried about a car bomb, luckily, they put it on an island...

Is it just me, or do they have WAY too much frigin money there...first the the new F1 circuit...then this...their architectural ideas are pretty sweet.

Exactly!! anything is possible .. but you are right, I never stopped to think about the Bomb Thing...

looks like a vinus fly trap :lol:

I believe that Abu Dabi is still the richest place in the world. Oil = money.

I wonder if the winds are a factor in that game of DEATH!
