    I daren't do it Dom...I've just discovered via a PM on here that the Stockport Hat Museum is rumoured to have documents claiming that the pyramid is not actually a pyramid but a very large prototype of a dinosaurs cycling helmet.

    The Stockport pyramid pales into insignificance next to our Head Office.




    Apparently when viewed correctly the whole building is supposed to look like a lorry...

    Yes, a lamentable lack of imagination on the part of the Egyptians which just goes to show that even if you can build boats from papyrus reeds you can't afford to rest on your laurels.

    I'm also more than a little surprised at the sloppy nature of the Wikipedia site. They mention the pyramid of "Cheops" - surely a crass spelling error that should read the pyramid of "Co-op"?

    As this is becoming an architecture appreciation thread I thought I'd lower the tone back to more forum-like levels with a photo of a shopping mall in Kopavogur, Iceland
