Willy Wonka: Because he broke the rules.
Grandpa Joe: What rules?! We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?!
Willy Wonka: Wrong, sir!! Wrong!!

"Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... "Memo bis punitor delicatum"! It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal!

Atlantropa
Atlantropa, a concept from the 1920’s by the architect Herman Sorgel, is profoundly weird. The concept was to dam the Strait of Gibraltar in order to unify the continents of Africa and Europe, and thereby allow the super-continent to compete with Asia and the Americas.
