    Why Do We Need Architects?

    Talk about a waste of time and money.

    A Dutch architect has designed a bed that hovers over the ground, cost: $1.5 million. It's also hard as a rock, apparently. Pillows will probably run you an extra $300k.

    This once more confirms my theory that architects are useless. They pull a design out of their butt, and it's the engineers that make it magic. Of course, the architect gets all the glory in the end because he made it look pretty.

    5 Amendments:

    Yeah, they spent so much money designing it they didn't leave enough for a camera to take a picture of it or did I miss something?

    But then there's men like Santiago Calatrava who is both an artist and an engineer. Most of Frank Gehry's stuff is junk--but do see his amphiteater at Chicago's Millenium Park. Rem Koolhaas is just plain goofy. So I'd say 90% of modern architects are worthless.

    This reminds me of the report I read somewhere today on the Brit scientist who cites some super-hero as an example of how science will develop the potential for people to be invisible. Ack.

    But I do want a hover-bed! Buy me one, Aaron?

    Tee Bee, I'll have to build you one from bees wax and old milk cartons. The power source will be gasoline blended with ethanol, recycled car seats, and Sudafed.
