- mahmud 17y agoOuch. Someone linked to a wikipedia list of "most expensive objects" and I couldn't help but notice how many of them were a waste of good money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world%27s_most_expensive_single_objects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world%27s_most_expensiv...
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoI'm intrigued. Firstly, what's bad money? Secondly, of that list, which ones do you think were a waste?

- catzaa 17y agoHmmm... The ISS seems a waste. How can the ISS cost 37 times more than the MIR space station? Also, why isn't the birds nest staduim in Beijing on the list? Was it cheaper? What about the different canals that was built in the USSR? It is interesting to see that a single B-2 costs more than a space shuttle.
