Germany wants to build a mammoth pyramid to store their dead

GreatPyramid.jpg

What is it with countries and pyramids? First Japan designs the world's largest structure in pyramid form, and now Germany goes ahead and does the same thing. To be fair, Japan wanted to stock their giant pyramid with living people, while Germany wants to fill theirs with corpses.

Yes, they want to build a 1,900-foot-high pyramid, built over the course of 30 years and paid for by people being buried inside it as its built. How gross! The structure would be 10 times the size of the Great Pyramid in Egypt when complete, towering over the German countryside. Whether or not this thing will actually be built is anyone's guess, but I guess it all depends on how many people would want their bodies to be stuck in a big pyramid when they die.

What you should've said, to be fair, is, "...but I guess it all depends on how many are dying to have it built."

I call top bunk.....errrr.....level.

But seriously, this is kinda cool....kinda meaning, you will have an amazing looking structure, and it will inevitably attract tourism....the "odd" part being its full of lifeless bodies.
So its a little cool and a little creepy at the same time.
