Where the buffalo roam
A Californian woman has recently purchased a used Boeing 747 jumbo jet in order to build her “feminine” and “eco-friendly” dream home. The house will be nestled in the Malibu hills, with panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and a nearby valley. Now, god knows I coo every time the term “eco-friendly” is thrown about, but this quote from architect David Hertz killed me:
“As we analysed the cost, it seemed to make more sense to acquire an entire aeroplane and to use as many of the components as possible, like the Native American Indians used every part of the buffalo.”
Huh? Stereotypical buffalo spearin’ Native Americans, long-praised for their efficient use of animal parts, being compared to a woman whose family owns one of California’s largest Mercedes-Benz dealerships , and who just paid $100,000 dollars for a 747 jumbo jet so that bits of it could be used in her multi-million dollar dream home in Malibu? Did I mention that the jet’s nose will be converted into a “meditation temple”? Those Native Americans are going to shit their buffalo shorts when they see it!
Just for kicks, here is a picture of the house:
And here is a picture of a buffalo:
Wow. I hope the architect has taken the lift of the wings into account. Actually I hope he hasn't. That would would make for a great Darwin award. "Mansion fashioned out of airplane wing flies into Pacific Ocean during gale."
As for the Buffalo does anyone know what native Americans did with the scrotum? Just curious.
