    I could see Wonder Woman having a receptionist there.

    Somehow though, I could also picture the Johnny Depp rendition of Willy Wonka sleeping there too. #cocoonheadquarters

    So apparently they'll build you a mini Guggenheim? I wonder how Gehry feels about all this.

    One thing about building a cocoon, or hive-shaped office space is that you end up with a really, really high volume to surface area ratio... for whatever that's worth. #cocoonheadquarters

    Hey Rosa! Glad you like architecture, but how about looking into something here in America?

    Check out Aqua in Chicago or The Beekman in New York, or any number of the other interesting projects that are not limited to foreign countries.

    Is commercial architecture really so boring in the US? I don't follow architecture too closely, but it seems like most cool new office buildings I see are in Europe. #cocoonheadquarters

    I've never seen any design like this...

    [www.guggenheim.org]

    Plus, I'd still rather not be in switzerland. Traffic there redefines "suck."

    That being said, I would love to work there. #cocoonheadquarters

    @Rosa Golijan: Hey, I wasn't pushing New York that time! I was just pointing out that it wasn't the most original design on earth.

    That being said, it is probably the most zip-down-at-high-speeds -while-on-your-way -to-nab-a-bad-guy-able of this general spiral design I've seen...

    Actually we can culture cells no problem, scaling that process up to industrial levels will not be a problem.

    Due to the amount of methane created by cows, this industry is unsustainable and will be replaced by vat grown beef, which will be better in every way. #cocoon

    I would grow an Adam Frucci, and then force him to eat other Adam Fruccis as part of an insightful series of technology taste tests on a popular blog.

    Naturally-grown cattle will yield steaks so expensive only the super rich of the future will have it, while the rest of us have to sit and watch Edward G. Robinson weep over the bleak and terrible future where Soylent Green is the last proper food in abundance.

    @SagarikaLumos: I imagine the passive cannibals would say yes, but purists would balk at the fact that you didn't take any time to stalk, hunt and kill your prey, much like how diehard fishermen like to make fun of people who buy Gordon's Fish Sticks.

    If you want to grow your own meat, I'd suggest setting up a worm farm. Great source of protein and cheap to produce. We'll all be eating insect protein in a few years so get a jump now. They fry up real nice.

    I'm pretty sure the SCIENCE tag isn't really appropriate, since there is in fact no science involved in this ridiculous idea. $7,347 isn't going to take this guy very far.
