The "star city" from China...

tuquefbensaib

Chinese architects want to build a giant star shaped monstruous moving building...

Is it me or does it looks like a rip-off of some popular science fiction flick ?

Or is it the first step of a cleverly crafted alien invasion plan ? Should I throw away my Chinese bread toaster ?

There was this other similar idea that was eventually made into a reality. You could go to other cities around the world and stay there. You could plug into their grid, too.
