The “fun fact” at 3:37 isn’t true, as Benjamin Franklin actually proposed an image of Moses as the National Seal, not a turkey. The myth came from a letter he sent to his daughter, Sarah Franklin Bache, commenting on how the bald eagle is “a bird of bad moral character…” and contrasting it with the turkey, which, according to him, “is in comparison a much more respectable bird…”.

Norman Foster (10:16): I'm a Brit with a soft spot for Norman Foster's designs since I lived for some years in Ipswich UK, very close to his first famous project, the Willis Faber building. Although some people considered Sir Norman's use of reflective dark glass to be "soulless", it has been described as flowing "like a pancake in a pan" in a site with few natural straight lines, as the reflections and internal glimpses changed seamlessly day and night, sometimes catching the internal structure of the building, other times making one aware of passing cars by night or the glimpses of blue sky and other architecture by day. I was fascinated by this even before I knew he was a big-name architect, just from standing outside it and seeing how it played with light and the opposing concepts of internal and external. I'd advise giving a Norman Foster project time to "grow into" its environment as the other finished works have. I love the idea of a dark Taj Mahal reflecting the sorrowing widower's feeling that the light of his life has gone.

Also Eugene Mercier the founder of the famous champagne had an ego far larger than the tower when he built a massive champagne barrel to compete in the world fair.

Shrek was born in an unknown swamp where he lived with his parents as a child. His father tried to eat him and his mother never gave him so much affection and his parents abandoned Shrek when he was 8 years old because it was an "Ogre Tradition". Shrek tried to be accepted by the people but failed because they believed him that he was a "horrible beast", so Shrek finds a swamp who becomes his home but is presumably who sometimes people attack his swamp despite being all times scares by Shrek and they run away. Shrek so lived a solitary life. Shrek annoyed by Donkey's singing. In the first film, Shrek is shown as a recluse who lives a fairly carefree life in his swamp. At first, he appears to like being by himself and enjoys scaring people, but not hurting them. Even though his background is unknown, it is assumed that most ogres hurt people, but Shrek isn't violent. One day in the forest, a talking Donkey enters Shrek's territory pursued by a group of knights. The head knight orders Shrek to be arrested, but Shrek effortlessly scares them off and saves Donkey. A grateful Donkey thanks Shrek repeatedly (to the latter's irritation) and convinces him to spend the night outside of Shrek's house. However, more fairy tale creatures soon arrive and begin to overcrowd his swamp. Shrek demands to know why they have come and learns that Lord Farquaad has dumped them all there. Outraged, Shrek takes Donkey and goes to his castle to demand his swamp back. Upon arriving at Farquaad's castle in Duloc, he defeats every knight in a contest to determine who will rescue Princess Fiona. When he wins, this intrigues Farquaad and he cuts a deal with Shrek: If he rescues his princess, he will give Shrek's swamp back. Shrek agrees and the duo set out once again to the dark castle Fiona is locked away in, guarded by a fire-breathing Dragon. But first, Shrek and Donkey have to cross the only rope bridge to the castle hanging precariously over a lake of lava. Once inside, Shrek orders Donkey to find stairs because the princess will be in the highest room of the tallest tower while Shrek himself searches for the Dragon. Unfortunately, Donkey inadvertently finds the dragon, and Shrek is forced to fight it, only to be flung by its tail right through the roof of the tallest tower. While Donkey keeps the dragon occupied, Shrek meets Princess Fiona for the first time and leaves with her in tow. After they rescue Donkey and escape from the castle, Fiona insists that Shrek take his helmet off, and is repulsed by the fact that Shrek is an ogre. Shrek appears not to care and takes Fiona by force to Farquaad. As nightfall approaches, Fiona demands they stop for the night, but secludes herself in a cave for reasons unknown. That night, Shrek and Donkey bond while stargazing, and Shrek confides in Donkey that he chooses to live alone because most people (except Donkey) prefer to fear and stereotype him rather than try to get to know him. The next day, the trio continue to Duloc and encounter the Merry men, where Fiona reveals her impressive martial arts skills. After the fight, Fiona notices an arrow in Shrek's butt and orders Donkey to find a blue flower with red thorns just to get rid of him. Despite some difficulty, Fiona manages to remove the arrow and they continue their journey. Throughout the rest of the trip back to Farquaad, Fiona warms up to Shrek and Donkey and Shrek begins to fall in love with Fiona. However, when bringing her a flower that evening after stopping to camp at an old mill, Shrek overhears Fiona talking to Donkey about how no one could love an ugly monster. Shrek thinks she's talking about him and enraged and hurt, he goes and brings Farquaad and his knights to take her to his castle. As promised, Shrek gets his swamp back and he is by himself once again. However, Shrek is still not happy, so after an intense argument, he apologizes to Donkey, with the latter convincing Shrek to get Fiona back. They take Dragon (whom Donkey started a relationship with) to Lord Farquaad's palace. Shrek crashes their wedding and confesses to Fiona that he loves her. At first, Fiona tells him that he's too late and prepares to kiss Farquaad. However, the sun begins to go down, and Fiona transforms into an ogre too, surprising Shrek and making him realizes what he heard at the windmill. However, Farquaad is disgusted with her now and orders her and Shrek arrested. As the guards grab them, Shrek finds himself overwhelmed, but manages to summon Donkey and Dragon. They burst through the stained glass windows of the church and Dragon eats Farquaad, killing him. Shrek and Fiona kiss, breaking her curse, but permanently turning her into an ogre. Fiona is still unsure about herself, but Shrek assures Fiona he still thinks she's beautiful, and they get married. The story ends with Shrek and Fiona's wedding and going off in an onion carriage on their way to their honeymoon..

As a South Carolinian the building at 17:32 is the Historic Charleston County Courthouse which was a Hoban design admired by Washington. It was originally the colonial era capitol building and was rebuilt after a fire with the hope of being the State Capitol which ended up being moved to Columbia anyway (a middle-of-the-state compromise city). That intersection of Meeting/Broad St is called "the four corners of the law" because the four historic buildings represent City, County/State, Federal, and Church/Canon law.

@lezzman

Greetings, Charles. I remember the opening ceremony for the opera house when I was a spritely lad of eight years old. Your recollection of the acoustics issue is correct. In the original design an acoustics expert calculated that the main hall would only allow for 2000 seats. If they went for the 3000 seats of the original design, the acoustics would be deficient. Therefore, what was meant to be a combined opera and concert hall ended up being just a concert hall. Then there was the minor hall, which was supposed to be for stage productions, ended up being used also for ballet and opera but was not suitable for large scale productions. A cinema and a library ended up being converted to live theatres. There were also problems with the size of the stage, the doors and the elevators. I could go on about the external cladding, the glass wall fixings, the shape of the outer shells and even the electrical switchboards which were not in a good location. The project was started in 1959 and opened, as I say, in 1973. The original estimate for completion was 1963. The estimated cost was AU$7,000,000 (converted currency) but in actuality cost AU$102,000,000. The designing architect was angered by the changes in his design, went back home to Denmark half-way through the project and never returned to Australia again. That's about as much as I know, sorry.

James Dimond's whitesouse design looks great especially that staircases. Burdge califa in reflective fabric is not good idea, just imagine vibrations made by wind blowing at it and how mutch stress would it put on the building. Manhatan dome isn't a bad idea, it reminds me of tranton from Asimovs "Foundation" the only problem is that it probably would heat too much in summer.

The Lincoln memorial still looks like a Greek temple^^ They should have stayed with the traditional roof design, though. The square thing makes it look like someone built a box and stuck a ring of columns on it to cover up the box-design

One white Indian building and one black one that would have been so cool and beautiful

Fun Fact: One of the original designs of the Seattle Space Needle included a glass dome at the very top. We would’ve called it “The Seattle Space Dome”

The dome was actually a great idea and it's benefits were reasonable but the only thing I want to know is how would you enter or leave? Get food shipped? What if you need to travel for a job ect?

I'd have wanted Martin Luther Kimg Jr. or Harriet Tubman to be apart of Mt. Rushmore. Their humanitarian efforts to help slaves and people of color need alot more recognition. What better way than to immortalize their images on one of America's most popular tourist destinations.

One person I want to be praised on Mount Rushmore is Adolphe Sax. He created my fav instrument The Saxophone. Pls pin this so everyone knows

I think the Palmer bridge was rejected because it was unnecessarily complicated. The same goal could have been achieved using only one loop. Forcing a pre-set idea instead of following it's functionality and flow. I wish they would have built the Palmer Bridge, it's genius and very super cool, I see why he went for it!!....But placing form over function simply costs too much to build:)

Adding to the complicated design was how the sliding parts would have worked: would the controls be placed to one side of the bridge, on the banks of the Thames, or under the bridge? Regarding the London Bridge, did you know that the original bridge was sold to somebody from Arizona to construct it near his vacation home site in Lake Havasu City? Yep, that's what happened: all of the bridge was disassembled, its parts numbered, and carted off to its new site in Arizona, then reassembled using the numbered pieces.

Was a ship supposed to just stop on a dime for the other side to open up?

Really! Washinton toothpick 22:15 --- Emotional Damage!

Be amazed: how would you feel about living in a giant dome? everyone who lives in a cold country: finally, NO MORE SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

I love the content

The real London Bridge may not look very interesting but it was actually pretty amazing. Besides being a bridge, it was also a very fashionable and highly desirable place to live-- that's right. It was wide enough at one time so that buildings rose up on both sides that included homes and businesses, with a wide thoroughfare going through it. All on the bridge. Maybe the towers on Tower Bridge remind people that and that memory has caused the confusion.

The London Bridge that is there now is the third version (or maybe the fourth?). The one you describe is from the Middle Ages and was replaced by one in the 18th Century which was dismantled and sold to a man in the USA in the early 1960s. The present bridge dates from the early 1960s. There was probably a bridge there during Roman times as well.

the original london brige dosent have that type of technology to make it move so ships could pass because the design was found years ago.
