...will rise to a height "of well over 2,000 ft." He won't say just how high. His clients don't want to tip their hand to other builders who have projects in the planning stages. If the others knew where the bar was set, they could easily pump their towers up a few feet higher--or more than a few feet. Architects and engineers agree that it's only a matter of time before a tower rises somewhere in Asia or the Middle East to 3,000 ft.--more than twice the height of either tower...

Home-team players who don't measure up aren't spared either. And the fans are hardly discouraged by arena managers happy to sell them overpriced booze and pump up the atmosphere with lasers and loud music. So does the fault lie in our stars or in ourselves...

Increased muscle mass is fine in the biceps, but it's bad in the heart, which must be lean and flexible...
...explore the state of San Andreas. The designers at Rockstar have packed the cities of Los Santos and San Fiero (a.k.a. Los Angeles and San Francisco) with hundreds of Easter egg--like surprises for many happy days of hunting. You can get your head shaved at the barber's, pump up your muscles at a gym, grab a bucket of wings at the Clucking Bell drive-through and go watch the sun set over Verona Beach. How much crime you commit along the way is entirely...
