    Indeed. At least one of them will last the millennium.

      Ogden. Of course, a more aesthetically pleasing temple was constructed at the site of the tear down of the saucer.

          Yeah, but Moliere said he couldn't remember any recent events of temples being torn down.

            When I say recent, I am speaking from an eternal perspective.

              I meant generally, buildings that seem built for the ages get torn down. In Asia, the average uber-high rise lasts what, six to eight years? What about the Salt Palace. They won't turn them into theatres with hot tubs. They'll just tear them down--highest and best use.

                Great point. The Salt Palace is a convention center and that totally proves what you've been saying all along about Asian high-rises lasting six to eight years and temples being torn down. Can't dispute any of that.

                    Ye mighty. Don't forget that important part. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair.
