Enough to make your eyes bleed . . .

I'd like to stay--one night--at the Burj Al Arab. That's the supersuper deluxe hotel in Dubai that's shaped like a sail. $1,000 a night. Gotta say the decoration is a little -- garish -- for Western eyes, though! Also, check out the pics of Andre Agassi and the other guy playing tennis off the helipad.

So I wonder how much damage a tennis ball falling off the building would do. Mythbusters disproved the whole "penny off a building will kill you" theory.
