    Perhaps in an attempt to shake off the backward, cousin-marrying, antisemitic image it got from Sacha Baron Cohen's film Borat, Kazakhstan has hired British architects Foster and Partners to build a futuristic Pyramid Of Peace And Reconciliation.

"This place is like a TARDIS," enthuses one blogger, talking about the spacious insides. Click through for more pyramid pictures.
