what the fuck are those
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Number one just looks like a couple of big half-built towers.

I said #2.

The first one reminds me of art. The second one reminds me of something out of the future.

I think you may need to go to a doctor, if that's what your shit looks like.

Well, d'uh, Cap.

Is that a plane? I thought it was just a big white thing.

A plane is pretty damned tacky, if you ask me.

I thought it was a plane. :freak: it would make sense if it was a plane, but i dont like the fact that there is a plane. like we need to be constantly reminded. i like the crystal shards.

wouldn't the plane be kind of portraying terrorism or something... it seems like the opposite of what they'd want to do. Doesn't that seem funny to anyone else?

imagine if that thing was still standing in like 300 years and it still had a plane sticking out of it... that would be baffling to most ppl
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Know what I heard? A while back I heard that someone or some group wanted to rebuild the Towers exactly the way they were before. I dont't think that's a bright idea.
