Frost Building, Austin, Texas


Owl design? At the moment, I can't find the newspaper article that said the top of this building was designed to look like an owl; all I can find are "stories" and "rumors" and assertions. Wikipedia cites an Alex Jones conspiracy theory on which it casts doubt, but really, who can deny the owl resemblance? In any case, someone spent money, time, and effort to obtain this look, and one must ask: why?

The Armadillo is the Texas State animal, and dead Armadillos tragically litter rural highways throughout the state. This strange looking creature has poor vision and is one of the few animals that can contract leprosy.
