[Dont Tread On Me Eh?]

Not to sh*t on everyone's parade, but how is this spire the tallest one in the world? The CN tower (tall, phallic-looking structure that defines the Toronto skyline) is 1815 feet tall.

Aw, c'mon! It's the tallest! Don't bother us with facts! You aren't supposed to notice (at least until after it's built).

All Hail the Spire of Envoronmentalism!!!

[Wright is right!]

"The CN tower (tall, phallic-looking structure that defines the Toronto skyline) is 1815 feet tall."

That's 1815 feet Canadian. That comes out to 1349 feet U.S.

Man, what IS the problem with the FR server this morning? It's GLACIALLY SLOW.

". . . but how is this spire the tallest one in the world?"

My guess: a spire is different by definition, i.e. not all of a given structure is "spire."

[Wright is right!]

Actually, the CN Tower is a self-supporting tower not attached to a building, and exists for electronic transmission and aesthetic purposes. Oh, and I think there's a restaurant in it. There are a LOT of 2000'-plus radio and TV towers in the US, but they don't count, either, since they aren't buildings built for human occupancy.

This will be the tallest building in the world constructed for regular occupancy.
