In a stunning display of engineering hubris and a desperate attempt to have a better view than everyone else, China's Guizhou province is now building the world's tallest bridge. Because, clearly, having nearly half of the world's top 100 tallest bridges wasn't enough bragging rights. This new behemoth, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, will stretch a mind-boggling 625 meters high, eclipsing the Eiffel Tower like it's a kid's toy. Once completed, the bridge will reduce travel time from an hour to just one minute, which is perfect for anyone who's ever complained about having too much time to enjoy scenic views. The engineers involved have admitted that the real challenge was finding a way to make all the rival provinces jealous enough to start their own bridge-building frenzies.
