Anyway, every 'old' building is either a ruin or has been renovated a dozen times. :P Not that we couldn't do with some ruins, but the paint currently in the Sistine Chapel never saw Michelangelo. ;P

Meh. ;P The colours in the Sistine Chapel are now so bright that it looks like a plexiglas cathedral. ;P Not something they were aiming for, I'm sure. :P

I don't mean to offend anyone, but it's silly to think that any place outside of Europe (except maybe Dubai, but even then I doubt it ::)) can have any building impressive enough to compete with Versailles or Sanssouci or Peterhof. :P The whole point of building palaces so incredibly stunning was to present an image to the world that money was no object and that anything the reigning monarch wanted would be done. :P They had to drain an entire swamp just to build Versailles and they constantly had to repipe the fountains of Peterhof because it gets bloody cold in Russia. ;P I highly doubt anyone else would ever go to so much effort to build something aesthetically pleasing and that many people will ever try to match what was done here anywhere else.

We've tried... we're just not very good at it... St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York for instance:







I actually hadn't seen an interior shot before... I wanna go there now!!!!!! XD

There is a distinct and very disturbing lack of buttresses. :(

I haven't been to that one, but I have been to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Now that was BEAUTIFUL!

Well, several of those are Baroque interiors. You know I'm partial to Gothic. :P

They are all very pretty. :P

Also, I don't know about that last claim... I say it could use more spires. :P

If it's not Baroque, please, don't fix it.

Would it be weird if I bought a cathedral and lived there?

No! Better yet!

I'mma turn it into a nightclub, how awesome would that be? They did that in a Vampires: The Masquerade video game and they called it "Confessions". I could so do that! ;D

No, it's not weird to want to live in a cathedral. I often wish I lived in a cathedral.

No... not better. Worse. :evil: No nightclubs in cathedrals! The GPS will not tolerate such behavior (the Gothic Preservation Society)... I guess that means if you wanted a Baroque cathedral for your nightclub... *dodges Deloria's floret*
