To be a manatee villain, doesn’t it need a monocle?

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat sounds like a Monty Python sketch for a Douglas Adams book.

That was just to cover up the real plan, which was installing a Tesla Tachyon Death Ray.

Why is it on the top of your head? That’s very unusual.

I absolutely love this story! I hope someday its made into a movie, leading with a computer simulation of what would have happened without the intervention.

I’m the tallest person at my work… well, I’m only 6ft, but I have a spire that goes up to 6’7".

Reminds me of an argument I used to have with a primary school classmate over who was taller- he had curly hair and I didn’t, so it depended on whether you counted hair or not!

Highest occupied floor should be all that matters. Spires are the mohawks of the architectural world. Interesting to look at, but ultimately superfluous, regardless of the preparations and techniques required to build them.
