"Obviously it doesn't take much to peak your interest."

That's true. And furthermore, it doesn't take much to pique my interest either.

"Now I could be completely wrong on this..."

Now THAT would be unusual!

"...but wouldn't a triangular (wedge) shaped building be in a better position to cope with wind than the typical rectangular solid (block) building. Do I hear the words 'Flatiron Building'?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But how exactly do you KNOW that the building is triangular (wedge) shaped. The picture is taken from street level and you can't actually SEE the width of the back of the building. So, you see, you're actually making an assumption, or, better put, jumping to conclusions. I just assumed that the building was about 10 feet wide and flat.
