Just my opinion really. I actually picked it up from SSP forumers (a lot of them define "skyscraper" as a 500+ foot building).

swivel · August 18th, 2005, 02:41 AM

Right on...thats cool..to each his own..

I was just curious because that figure knocks out all of what the world considered to be the first skyscrapers...500ft's pretty damn tall
