Either german pineapples are different than ours, or your slightly exaggerating
Incidentally, if thats the only bad thing about Oz, something cosmetic, then that's cool.
Cartoon Law III
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.

Not that I care much one way or the other, but what do you have against the Empire State Building? It's actually a pretty decent art deco structure, close up. As for its height: there are a lot higher ones around, now. Have you been there?

Don't worry, fable, I was only being facetious. I haven't actually been there unfortunately. But from what I have seen of it (through the lense of my trusty TV ) it isn't that bad. But personally, I don't know... it doesn't look that good either. Kinda simple and flat... I like something with a bit more... what's the word... personality.

Try looking at the Sears Tower....Now that building needs personality.

Now, if you want personality, check out the architecture of Goudy.

What's wrong with our opera house?</STRONG>
I like your casual attitude. Anyway, I actually have nothing against the opera house. I was just trying to think of something about australia (where I have never been). And I don't have anything against australia. I was just joking. (of course)
So I could have said:
I hate their flag and their stupid marsupials!
-or-
I hate their stupid crocodile hunters!
-or-
Vegemite? Who do they think they are, anyway?
