How’d It Get to be a Pentagon, Anyway?
In the Washington Post, Steve Vogel tells the tale of the Pentagon’s shape. Not to ruin it or anything, but this is funny: It was designed that way to fit on an oddly-shaped plot of land. Then it got moved. But there wasn’t time to change the plans. So they kept it a pentagon!
