    Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle was the *****. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Piggle-Wiggle
    • Goombellaofgoom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I loved those books growing up! Even now, when I haven't read the books in years, it was the first thing that popped in my head when I read the headline. ^_^

  • Ndiggie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Given the fact that this structure was built in Poland, it's possible that the builder just screwed up, however, concerned that he would become the butt of another Polish joke, came up with an excellent cover story.

  • p51d007, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Ok, so he spend all this MONEY, all these RESOURCES to build an upside down house, which took MUCH longer, probably burned up more "greenhouse gases" and he wants to complain about the world being upside down?
    That's about as rich as Algore telling us to stop driving SUV's, then he hops on a corporate jet and flies all over the
    place.
