I'm hardly a conspiritist, but Pentagon/Pentragram was an obvious

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)."

See http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...y/pentagon.htm ,if
you want the whole sordid history.;-)
