Stata Center secret?
May. 8th, 2005 05:06 pmSo I recently saw (some of) the inside of the Stata Center, the hideous new building on the MIT campus. My first reaction was that they must be keeping an Elder God trapped in the basement. On further thought, however, this seems unlikely, as one usually hears about (relatively) straightforward pentagonal buildings being used for that particular purpose. No, all of this deliberately non-Euclidean geometry probably implies that the building is secretly an embassy or beachhead for the Horrors From Beyond Space-Time. Such an environment probably seems downright home-y to the Many-Angled Ones. And don't tell me that the hanging chain mail tapestries are simply there for decoration...
