Does it bother anyone else that the "Water Cube" is clearly a rectangular prism, and not a cube?

It's just me, isn't it?

No, no, it isn't just you. I'm with you there.

I'm so glad not to be alone. :)

I like the building a lot, but every time they call it the water cube I'm sitting there thinking, "But it's not a cube..."

I hadn't thought of that before.

Thanks for ruining the building for me. [shakes fist] :)

Nah, you only think it's a rectangular prism because you're ignoring the hidden underground aqualevels where experimental marine techniques are developed and practiced. Add in the subterranean layout and you get the cube you want. :)

I find it disturbing just *how much* that makes me feel better about the whole thing.
