This Is a Library Building


(Photo: Allison Meier)

Should you think outside of the box? Yes. But first, explore the world of knowledge within it. This architectural gem is The Square Head, a sculpture and functional library building designed by Sasha Sonso. It was completed in 2002 and now serves as part of the central library of Nice, France.

Although it looks like a black cube, the panels on the face are actually windows. It is 92 feet tall and has 3 interior floors.

Yes, this mirrors my own research on moths, which demonstrates that their main habitat is the immediate vicinity of candle flames and lightbulbs.

Seems to me, since skunks are more commonly around smaller country roads, there should at least be some varieties with yellow stripes rather than white. :)

Come one poeple. If you didn't know this was a joke, then I invite you to help me hunt some snipes, hoop snakes and some jack-o-lopes. Also, did you know that cows that graze on the side of a hill have shorter legs on one side?

Travis, this was written by my father, drawing by my sister, and yes, it is a joke. It makes me really sad that you didn't know for sure that it was. Sure it is stupid, it was meant to be. What kind of researcher would use a song as their only proof of a theory? I'm going to go cry for you.
