This is not only possible, using current technology, but would allow for a whole range of plush toys and marketing gags to be introduced to the cold, dry world of business.-- UnaBubba, Sep 04 2003 This just in. A fifteen car pile up reported one block east of the recently unveiled Pamela Anderson towers.

It would be the perverted little mind of 2fries.-- UnaBubba, Sep 05 2003 That film at two.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 05 2003 "Little Death In The Afternoon"? Sounds like a translation from the original French version.-- UnaBubba, Sep 07 2003 Big buttsy buildings might also be popular.-- FarmerJohn, Sep 07 2003 The new inter-building suspension bridges could be big arrows from tip to point to explain to the kids who look up , the facts of life .-- wjt, Sep 07 2003 I hear it actually had to be reduced from its original dimensions.-- snarfyguy, Sep 07 2003 /I hear the Jennifer Lopez building has quite an annex/
Several, in fact. There's the Ojani Noa annexe, the Chris Judd annexe, and lastly the Ben Affleck annexe (originally affiliated to the Matt Damon complex, but subject to a hostile take-over when the original annexes together proved insufficient for the Lopez Corporation's needs).-- egbert, Sep 07 2003 I'm Gigling over that last one.-- bristolz, Sep 07 2003 halfbakery
