Quote of the Day

"There are 7,754 windows in the Pentagon, each of which costs $10,000. You do the math."

 OK, that's $77.54M. So how much did the Pentagon cost to build in the first place?

"Construction of the Pentagon was completed in approximately 16 months at a total cost of $83 million.... Ground was broken for construction on September 11, 1941, and the building was dedicated on January 15, 1943."

On an inflation adjusted basis, the Pentagon cost near $750M to build in the '40s.

That means that replacing all the windows today costs roughly 10% of the original construction total! Imagine if that were true for your house.
