ANALEMMA TOWER
I didn't know if this should be in the jokes thread.

Quote:
Analemma inverts the traditional diagram of an earth-based foundation, instead depending on a space-based supporting foundation from which the tower is suspended. This system is referred to as the Universal Orbital Support System (UOSS). By placing a large asteroid into orbit over earth, a high strength cable can be lowered towards the surface of earth from which a super tall tower can be suspended. Since this new tower typology is suspended in the air, it can be constructed anywhere in the world and transported to its final location. The proposal calls for Analemma to be constructed over Dubai, which has proven to be a specialist in tall building construction at one fifth the cost of New York City construction.

Vindicated! PS says it's no joke.

In case it wasn’t already obvious, this is not a building that exists yet, and it's not a realistic plan. But it’s also not a joke.
