The top floor in the Pyramid is lower than the highest in the Bank of America; the pyramid is essentially a hollow portion).

  1. I was just searching for this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this type of informative web sites in top of the list. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage.
