2nd question could not wait for more questions to build up!!

First Question!!!!!!!!!

This is the first question i cam across. It was pretty interesting. 
I will post the further questions probably in bunches and not induvidually.
1.) Which building has the dubious distinction of being the tallest building for the shortest time and which building beat it????



Ans:)
40 wall street

40 Wall Street was planned to be 135 feet (41 m) taller than the nearby Woolworth Building, which was completed in 1913. Most important, the plans were designed to be two feet taller than the Chrysler Building's planned height of 925 feet (282 m).

However, the Chrysler Building developers secretly changed the projected height of their building after 40 Wall Street was completed. A 125-foot (38 m) spire was secretly assembled in the Chrysler Building's crown and hoisted into place, fulfilling tycoon Walter Chrysler's dream of owning the tallest building on Earth


40 Wall Street is a 70-story skyscraper originally known as the Bank of Manhattan Trust building,[2] but then became known by the numerical address when its founding tenant merged with the Chase National Bank to form the Chase Manhattan Bank. It later became The Trump Building.[3] The building, located between Nassau Street and William Street in ManhattanNew York City, was completed in 1930 after only 11 months of construction.

Hey First Post

I was just sitting and thinking that i seemed to be coming across a wide variety of potential quiz questions duing my daily routine like when reading the paper or watching tv. I was just thinking how to remember it all when i realised the best way would be to create your own blog and post the questions there. So that is the reason for starting this blog. Lets hope all goes to plan and that i am able to find enough questions to keep the blog alive
