The French PM has said he is launching an internationl competition to design a modern spire for Notre Dame to replace the collapsed one. The spire is a sort of antenna, so… draw your conclusions @Joseph .

When are we going to get serious about this?? Its called the Giza Death Star here… https://phys.org/news/2018-07-reveals-great-pyramid-giza-focus.html + Alexander Golod.. But I need to learn Russian first.
Yes, yes … I can see it now … Notre Dame with a glorious, magnificent 5G spire.
I also read yesterday a comment by a British MP expressing concern over lack of fire suppression in Parliament buildings. Predictive Programming possibly?
Below is the first paragraph from a Guardian article titled
“A tale of decay’: the Houses of Parliament are falling down” by Charlotte Higgins that appeared on 1 Dec 2017.
B.ritain’s Parliament is broken. It is a fire risk. It is insanitary. Asbestos worms its way through the building. Many of the pipes and cables that carry heat, water, electricity and gas were installed just after the war and should have been replaced in the 1970s; some of them date from the 19th century. The older the steam pipes become, the more likely they are to crack or leak. When high-temperature, high-pressure steam enters the atmosphere, it expands at speed, generating huge, explosive energy. Such force could be fatal for anyone close; it could also disturb asbestos and send it flying through the ventilation system, to be inhaled by palace workers. The building caught fire 40 times between 2008 and 2012. Last year, a malfunctioning light on an obscure part of the roof caused an electrical fire that could have spread rapidly, had it not been detected at once. Whatever else happens in the Palace of Westminster, that great neo-Gothic pile on the Thames, one thing is constant. Every hour of every day, four or five members of the fire-safety team are patrolling the palace, hunting for flames.
It was said a few years ago that extensive renovation was needed, but they couldn’t decide on difficult points like the logistics of closure, whether to hold sessions on the premises or elsewhere, and the costs. Brexit might be easy in comparison…
Pssst don’t tell anybody but the buildings where the French Parliament meet are not exactly new: Palais du Luxembourg (17th cent. with extensions) and Palais Bourbon (18th cent. and extensions).
Is it on a key line ?
That island in the Seine has been a “power spot” for centuries used for churches and royal palaces.
