    I remember flying into Dubai, you could see the building sticking up and out of the smog layer. When I asked the pilot about it they said they never see that anywhere else. #vertigo

    My college dorm was 14 stories high at the top, and there was a study lounge up there. Occasionally, we'd get some pretty strong winds -- from 80 to 100 mph -- and it was always fun to study up there when the gales came in. You could go to the restrooms and watch the water slosh around the toilet bowls. Good times. #vertigo

    @Kaiser-Machead: It wouldn't kill anybody according to the Mythbusters. They tested a penny moving at terminal velocity and it didn't cause enough damage to a ballistics gel dummy to assume death if it hit a human...it'd be pretty damn cool, though. #vertigo

    @Yinzers Are People Too: Heck, Adam had Jamie fire a penny at terminal velocity from a modified air-nailer at his hand and it didn't even break the skin. The fastest a penny is going to fall in the atmosphere is roughly 50-60mph. Not only that, I doubt the penny would ever make it to the ground in the first place. Skyscrapers have unusual wind currents going up their sides. The wind currents would probably carry you penny back up towards you. #vertigo

    Hmm, Dubai is like my 10 year-old godchild... He wants crap just because everyone else has it and of course, he gets it. I'm kinda' bored of that pattern and Dubai has no character now- it's just a spoiled brat.

    Could someone explain to me Gizmodo's infatuation with those money-sucking, environment-raping slave drivers in Dubai?

    I really don't understand what is so appealing about Dubai's waste and excess built on the backs of slaves. No, seriously, I don't. #burjdubaifountain

    Every single time I see "worlds biggest" or "world's largest" It's always in dubai. That is excluding humans of course. All of the worlds largest of those are in America apparently. #burjdubaifountain

    @yantelope: You wish!

    People in the UAE are eating too much of the wrong foods and straining the nation’s food supply, according to food experts and a recently released UN report. The Food and Agriculture Organisation estimated that the average daily caloric intake per person in the UAE in 2005 was just over 3,000 calories – almost a third above the recommended amount for a healthy person.
    ---
    At least one child in six in the UAE under the age of five suffers from stunted growth as a result of poor nutrition, according to doctors.
    ---
    More than one in three children in Dubai are overweight, according to a study released yesterday by Dubai Health Authority.
