Check out this tennis court, located atop the Burj Al Arab in Dubai

It's ok.. you can crap your pants now.

And since Dubai seems to have a major compensation issues, naturally It's the world's highest. When not used for extreme sport matches, it doubles as a helicopter landing pad.

Check out this video of Andre Agassi and some random dude playing on this bowel cleanser:

Of course it only gets really good when Andre gets bored and starts slapping balls down to the people below... which is of course would have been the first thing I would have done! Only with liquid.. and by liquid I mean pee... and by pee I mean from me!. :twisted:

I mean, what if by some chance you momentarily forget that you're 80 floors about the ground, and you go in for one of those extreme Tennis saves.... and then you do the Wiley coyote. Technically it could be a new death sport? Sumo wrestiling... the first one knocked out.... dies.

Hell I shot some hoops today, and got upset everytime I had to chase the Basketball into the woods. Who the hell is going to go get the ball when you miss on this thing? Although I'm sure, balls are expendable.
