As some of you may know, I'm sort of a fan of the Olympics. Well, not really the Olympics, but the process behind the Olympics. It's a bunch of cities and countries doing ridiculous stuff to prove they have what it takes to host the Games. And in China's case, it's just ridiculous, period.
So although the 2016 Games are a long way off, if you're a city that wants to host them, you better get your act together.
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, officially has it's #$%@ together. They're in the intense running for the 2016 Games - which will be announced next year - and I think they just took the lead.
How so?
Well, my friends, they're going to build a hotel based off of the Death Star from Star Wars for the Games. And no, I'm not kidding, take a look.

They're calling it Full Moon, but we all know better. The Rebel Alliance will be crushed at the 2016 Games, no question.

Oops. Sorry. My comment was yours as well. I should have read through this first.

Let's just hope they fix that fatal weakness! No open thermal exhaust ports right below the main port.

Ahh yes...they chose the one that got blown up. Let's hope that this isn't foreshadowing.

Yeah, but everyone loves Star Wars.
