Amazon's plans to build a helix-shaped "Tower of Babel" as the centerpiece for its forthcoming second headquarters in northern Virginia has been given the green light by the Arlington County Board.
It was in February 2021 that the online retail giant announced plans for its spectacular, 350-foot tower to be the featured item at its new offices that will house more than 25,000 workers once completed.
The helix stands out because of its possible resemblance to the Old Testament's "Tower of Babel"– an attempt by man to reach the heavens before mankind's languages were confused by God in the 11th chapter of Genesis.

Interesting, I’m sure it will be called the SCREW though.
McDonald’s ice cream cone or a turd, you decide.

Not a tower of Babel. Good grief, it just an ugly building.
the neighbors got screwed...
There is a stone tablet that some suggest might represent it.
However, it is depicted as a ziggarut, rather than the poop emoji Amazon is building.
That’s a lot of stairs to climb🤨
The Roman Coliseum had elevators
The concept is not new
Bezos “Even God couldn’t topple this building”.
The White Star Line made a similar proclamation in 1912
No surprise with all the things we called Bezos' spaceship.
Excellent.
Now if only they had a system where you could pay for your groceries using your hand.
What if all Zoey needed was herself?
We’re not there

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The Amazon turd.
🙂 I was trying to be funny 😁
Looks like a giant snail to me.
This design proved to be quite popular in Ancient Greek Times, and its use was widespread. The most complex elevator system of the ancient times was made in Roman Empire at the Colosseum Arena in 1st century BC. It hosted 24 elevator cages which were operated by the human force of 224 slaves.
I seem to recall a certain Golf Pro (Lee Trevino?) who advised someone worried about a thunderstorm to ‘grab a one iron and stand in a sand trap, because even God can’t hit a one iron.’
Home for a Mollusk, a garden snail that strips the green off your financial garden.
Yup. Looks like a fat wood screw.
How apropos.
