^ nice picture! i thought of this song when i saw it, grandmasterflash - nyny

"A castle in the sky, one mile high
Built to shelter the rich and greedy
Rows of eyes, disguised as windows
Looking down on the poor and the needy"

Do you guys know that when that tower was built the windows have actual gold in them. I believe when RBC was constructing the tower the signed a long term contract for 20 to 40 years to buy replacement windows at a fixed price. Little did they know that the price of gold went from 40 dollars an once to 700. The company making the windows almost went bankrupt and RBC looked very smart.
