The Pentagon - A Book

I saw an awesome piece on the Daily Show tonight, about a book called "The Pentagon: A History" by Steve Vogel. Sounds like a great book, and one I definitely want to read. One juicy tidbit which is a little bit mind-boggling, the ground was broken for the Pentagon on Sept. 11th, 1941. A little eerie. The reason its a pentagon? No, not to contain the soul of Dick Cheney, it was originally designed for another piece of property that was five sided. But Roosevelt decided at the last minute to move it to another location. The name of the new (and final) location? Hell's Bottom. 'Nuff said...
