Who thinks up goofball articles like this? Oh look, it has doors! Castles had doors too! And it's made out of matter! Most castles were also made out of matter!

It might be intereresting to hear some details on the high-tech security measures they no doubt put in place. Sure the low walls, sloping earth and reflecting pond may have been implemented for security but they seem barely worth mentioning.

thanks for the link.

Do you suppose they will have the torture chamber too? They can poke the non-believers with a soft cushion, or . . . put them in the comfy chair !!

Let them put in place all the security possible!

When I enter one I want to feel comfortable and not be looking for potential escape routes.

It was a rather stupid article!
