"This is the tallest Sundial in the world, and still growing"
Also excellent for upgraded 'Benjamin Franklin' experiments?

Other than that, does anyone think this is a practical project?

What do you mean by practical?-- I think it will be an impractical sundial!

I also think it's hideous, but who knows, maybe it is a practical solution for an expanding population by going UP, and there seems to have been some consideration as to the impact of its inhabitants on water consumption at least (though the question of where they will put their cars is another story).

Maybe they will build another tower alongside for a car park.

If you don't care for reality, just wait a while; another will be along shortly. --A Rose
