Every once in awhile, in various movies or TV productions, I catch a glimpse of the London Gherkin building.

I dunno.

That reminds me of the Brady Bunch where the woman wants Mike to build her company in the shape of a powder puff. If anyone else knows what I'm talking about I'd be shocked.

Was it SUPPOSED to look like a butt plug? If so, they did a smashing job.
 
The cosmetics lady was a real zsa zsa gabor type. Not only did she want the building to look like a powder-puff, she wanted it to open up like one, too. Wacky lady.

Say, as long as we're all talking about these old shows, I'll be truly amazed if anyone remembers the Happy Days episode where Howard Cunningham buys a bomb shelter, complete with discussion of locking your friends outside to die during the holocaust. Darkest Happy Days ever. The cold war was a strange time.
 
We have a couple of unusual buildings that have popped up in the last 10 years not far from here. Opinion on them is very polarized.

Me, I like them. They are affectionately known as the Marilyn Monroe buildings. Well, I guess the level of affection is variable.
