I work in an office building at L'Enfant Plaza in Washington DC. Recently, the quadrangle in front of my building was renovated to modernize and waterproof it. One of the highlights of the new design is a massive skylight in the shape of a right rectangular pyramid.

The pyramid is over a sitting area on the shopping mall, one level down.

I've been keeping my eyes on the sitting area to observe any significant pyramid-generated effects. I felt I had to report the first of them.

Overnight, actually over a weekend, what was originally a bleak area with a few benches and some empty planters has become a jungle! Plants are everywhere! They are not seedlings or sprouts, but full-grown, mature plants. Obviously, the pyramid focusing the solar energy into this previously-unlighted area caused a previously unknown rate of photosynthesis. Plants which are obviously several years old sprang up as if drawn there by some cosmic force. I'm convinced the pyramid caused this, there can't be any other reason.

I'll keep watching the pyramid area and report any more unusual or unexplainable events.

I have to stop at this point. My tongue hurts too much for keeping it firmly in my cheek for so long.

Thank you for your overview of pyramidiotical pseudoscience. I was hoping that you might one day pay attention to all the BS going around surrounding Ancient Egypt. My only complaint is that the isn't extensive enough, but then the subject deserves a debunking site of its own.

If you can tolerate lots of nonsensical mail on top of what you're already getting, I could mention the page on www.guardians.net, a major Ancient Egypt site. While the main thrust of the site and its bulletin board is scientific and archeological, it attracts quite a few 'fringe' people who need educating (of course, some of them are immune to education).
