I noted that as well, but it gave me a chuckle.

I'm hardly a conspiritist, but Pentagon/Pentragram was an obvious
connection when I first heard about the building when I was about 10,
maybe 45 years ago.

Why the hell would anyone design a five-sided building of that size?

That's something I file under "sounded good at the time". Sensible? Not
a chance.

"The Pentagon’s unusual five-sided configuration was dictated by the
site originally proposed (adjacent to Memorial Drive, about
three-fourths of a mile north of where the building was actually
constructed)."

you want the whole sordid history.;-)

Some people see conspiracies everywhere, and there's nothing you can do
except watch them very carefully.

Well, there goes the theory that it's a gateway to Hell.
