Unrelated. One of these berkeleyers attacked me this morning, may even have been bigger than this one. Luckily my Ninja skills allowed me to defeat it with a cunning attack disguised as jumping up and down shaking my hand (That it was trying to eat, whole, seriously) and squealing like a 5 year old girl. God I'm good.

B-47s are cool, but dear Bob, that runway must be a superfund site from that one takeoff. Plus, there's enough unburnt K1 there to single-handedly cause the hole in the ozone layer. Then there's this:

American cities (and American public perception, too) either want to obliterate the historic, or - and this is MUCH worse - cripple the modern by forcing it to be a weak and badly executed imitation of the historic.
Contrast those with this piece of crap from my home town:
Here's the rendering so you can see how hard it was trying - and failing - to "fit in" with the actual historic building next door:
Here's the wonderful old building the new project was so badly failing to imitate, which is vastly cheapened and diminished by the horrendous new copy next door:
The back of Hoover Dam, before it was filled.

If that thing is for real, I am moving to a universe where it is not. Spiders dont generally bother me much, but that thing?
WE can mix old and new here in Detroit. The Guardian building, beautiful art deco inside and out with modern bank, restaurant and shops inside.
