[@rickdeckard9810]

RIP I.M. Pei

[@seans9149]

I wonder what those french people would say when they were against this project and how many younger french people or the people from the globe that visit the Louvre museum today are aware of this story.RIP Mr. I M Pei.

Did you know the Louvre Pyramids has 666 glass??

[@zhurhonji]

I believe there are 673 panes of glass...”666” was a misprint of the original brochure, the myth continued and ended up in Dan Brown’s famous novel.

@@zhurhonji the so called number of the beast is not that of the total number of panes of glass :but it can be seen on three of the four sides of the pyramid in the mathematical construction of the architekt : 666=153x4+18x3=612+54=(7+5+400+200)+(7+5+22+20).

Somewhat distracting that the "expert" must constantly refer to her notes.

Not as distracting as your add nothing comment

[@dukeofhaas]

And yet our "add nothing comment" clearly added something because it elicited your immediate response. Something about our comment rang true otherwise you would not have jumped to the news readers defense. Our distracting Add Nothing Comment: 1. Matt Grant: zero.
