The End of the World in Various Ways
About Professor Marcel Minnaert
Holland is a very wet little country. Everyone knows this, except architects. They design buildings not only with flat roofs (thus maximizing the rain catch), but also with inclined walls (Pisa-envy, it's called). My room in our new building gets rain in abundance (next feature: tropical snakes in the computer cable ducts). Recently, an artwork I designed in honour of Professor Oort, in the entry hall of this building named after him, narrowly escaped destruction. This building will yet cost more in lawyer's fees than it cost to build it. Visitors: bring an umbrella!
