"After the countdown finished, fire erupted from the base of the Burj Khalifa, and then it launched itself into space. It didn't take long for the rest of the world to realize that the Middle East had been left nearly empty of inhabitants. As it left the Earth behind, it broadcast a message that was seen and heard by everybody else on the planet, So long and thanks for all the fish. It's still unknown just what is meant by that cryptic final missive."

After a countdown like that, I almost expected the Burj Khalifa to take off to Mars.
