        If that colossus had been built, we wouldn't enjoy the Pentagon's "Ground Zero" hot dog stand -- at the epicenter of the geometric figure -- today! "Here come the missiles! More mustard on your frank?"

        Originally the Pentagon was intended only for Army use until WWII ended, then would have been a Federal document storage facility.

        Makes me think of one of those Stalin wedding cake multiple layer buildings in Moscow. Not so many layers though! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalinist_architecture?wprov=sfti1 …
