Well, since you ask: It's the widest residential building in the world. It's the Prora in Rügen, Germany. It is 6 floors high, has 20,000 rooms, and is 4 kilometers wide. It was built during WWII at the order of Adolf Hitler and was intended as a Volksheim (People's home) to go along with the Volkswagen (People's car).



Good grief that is huge!

Yes it is...like taking The Great Wall of China and going condo.

Does North America have anything close to a building of that size?

That was interesting, thank you.

You're welcome, Dogbytes. Have you ever been down to Venezuela? Did you notice how every home, every apartment building is so different from it's neighbours? When I came back after 2 weeks in Caracas I just couldn't believe what a 'beehive' our buildings are...all prefabbed to the same scheme again and again. Even you can see that in the Prora, but if you look closely, you'll see the Prora's influence in your own city. Gimme the freedom and individuality of the Venezuelans!

....
Remember: No matter who outs you out there, you can always come here and have fun. ....

Fun? FUN? You and others like you have rid these fora of FUN. And I'm not talking about the troll fighting. I'm talking about the fun we had before you showed up with this thought that you could take over like some tin hatted Court Jester seeking attention. And don't think for a minute that you're doing anything less than seeking attention. Only people that post as often as you do, after only being here for about 6 weeks, are seeking attention. Remember, I DID take you off my ignore list....

You're entitled to your opinion, Siran, of course. Especially here. :-))

And you're right about my trying to become the court jester around here. But I think you're wrong about why I'm posting as much as I do. It's true I like to express myself, but hey, it's a forum, you know? I don't expect people to agree with me by any means. In fact, given your group think-alike attitudes, of course I wouldn't expect that.

Consider your bigotry against lawyers. I mean, not that I care...but isn't that typical of typical group prejudicial thinking? Here's what I've noticed: the same guys that like to hate lawyers and make fun of them, are the first people to appreciate them when they need one. It's only then that they begin to recognize what hard-working professionals they are, and then they thank God that their lawyer is in their corner.

But here's what I'd like to say to you, for real. Why are you so angry all the time? You say you want fun. Well I'm sure not stopping you. Do I come on to Rocky's Cafe to fight with you guys? I'm not whining or nothing when I say this, you can come here and laugh or argue or do whatever you feel like on my threads. Do I grip about what people say? No Siree! It's true I'm against flooding or making a thread unworkable, not just mine either. But do I complain about what you say here? Not a chance. Check it out.

So, Cheers! Don't angry, be happy.

Fascinating photo...got any more?


Okay DB, this is baiting and you know it.

Well it was of something another poster thought was of interest to him which he had to share with us..
I was just trying to show support; perhaps "fascinating" was a tad over stated.
I would be interested to know where this building is located and what is its primary function.
