Why? Why not?
Can we rename the grand canyon, El Grande canyon? How about ... the Empire State Building ... The Umpire State Building?

Are you going to post a new topic every time you read a news article?
Are you following me? I wasn't aware I was forcing you to read anything. You're the only one complaining, far as I can see. Anyhow, nice to see you couldn't wait for me to post again to keep up the same old thing.
Have a goodnight kiddo.

Oh, you know, I hadn't been here in a while, and the first thing I notice is that a bunch of new topics have the same author. Can you think of something a little more worthwhile to post?

I'm forced to read it, and I find it pointless. And pointless things I make go away. This is a discussion forum. Pick a position and write an essay about it. "What do you think about this?" is just noise when the point is you are supposed to tell us in your own words what the relevance of the link is.

So, any post that isn't in essay form is invalid? But you make them go away? That's like the majority of the boards, and this entire thread. You win, I'll go away. I still have yet to see any of the members that judge others so harshly come up with any original threads. I still offer the NASA Tether thread a as a prime example (silence)... guess there aren't too many materials engineers around.
But hey man, it's all good I don't mind asking questions, even if it makes me look like an idiot to someone that knows all the answers.

Meem,
What you are posting is not your original content. Most of us read the news, and what you are posting is old news at that. You don't need to post an essay, just post something interesting that people want to talk about.

How do you know without asking? Do you think it should be renamed? I mean it's a world famous landmark, how many of which get renamed? I thinks it's silly to rename it. But if someone said either name I would know what they are talking about. If I named something I had created, say I make building X and I call it Building X. That is the name I would like for it to have even after I am gone. It was my creation, so why should anyone else rename it? I am not that concerned about the whole thing. I was trying to take a funny approach to it.
The Sears Tower is being renamed The Willis Tower. "Whatchu talkin bout Willis?"
My simple stance on the matter is, only the person or persons who named something should be able to rename it. Let's change the name of the country from U.S.A. to The Only America That Matters! TO the ATM, get money!
The leaning tower of wet noodle or impotency?
The great pyramid of Sand.
The pimp palace hall.
The el grande whole, with a river in it.
The blue cliffs of dover.
I don't know what people think, and I am puzzeled about it, so I try to ask questions. Even if they appear to be stupid or silly.

It's a piece of property. It should be named by the owners. Sears no longer owns it. I'm sure that the builders of the Great Pyramids didn't call them "The Great Pyramids of Giza."

Fair enough, but then you would be ok with my renaming the other things on the list if I owned them?
If I could do that ... I'd own The Leaning Tower of Limp Noodle.

How does one go about buying the Leaning Tower of Piza? If Pizza Hut bought it, they could rename it the "Leaning Tower of Pizza Hut", but I'm sure that kind of thing is the very reason WHY landmarks aren't sold.
