i think this one is pretty cool

Wow ... buildings that spell "9/11," "USA," "IX XI" and "LOVE" ... Not to mention the number of buildings in the shape of a cross and others that people don't seem to realize are pentagrams (1 2). Of course, there are the, shall we say "ambituous," architectural achievements, the concepts for which appear to be plucked gently from the anus.

But this has to be my favorite so far. We should -- no, must -- build this:

Insider: you dont think that any 'large building' they replace the old WTC with is not going to be a huge symbol for a 'Target" (esp. the current proposal!!!) *sigh*


some things dont change do they?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Seems like the rivaling architects Libeskind and Childs managed to combine their plans, resulting in the model of the Freedom Tower which is going to be built in mid-2004:
