One of Babel's twenty towers before the US bombing raid

Genesis 11 had languished on the shelves of agents,producers and directors for four millennia. To the surprise of drama and film critics the "Myth of the Tower" finally broke out and leads the list of Golden Globe winners in both the stage and screen categories.Ben Ben-Ben of the NyTimes could hardly get his laudatory exclamations out in order: "It's Fresh! It's New! It's Old! It's Blue!".

Drama and Film critics across the world gave great acclaim to the first simultaneous release of a movie, musical and architectural feat. "Just think", architecture critic for the New Yorker, Bill "Bricks" Gnmortar exclaimed, "Babel reaches for the stars from the footlights to the silver screen and now the skyline of old Mesopotamia with its twenty towers!"

Predictions of Oscars , Tony's and The Grand Erection (Architecture's less famous Gold Medal) were rampant across the pages of Variety and Architectural Digest.

In late breaking news the destruction of the Newly constructed Tower of Babel by US bombers outside Baghdad put a bit of a damper on the triple crown predicted by art critics around the world. Creator Shakespeare Rogers-Hammerstein Lloyd Wright humbly declared: "So? No hat trick!? I'll take a double-header sweep, any day!"

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
