Have the UN declare it a world heritage site (if it isn’t already) and let the taxpayers foot the bill.

Yeah, that’s sarcasm.

[grandpa jones]

I thought for sure they were going to say it was because of global warming.

[apillar]

Minorities and women hardest hit!

[dfwgator]

Well he is getting up there in years.

[chuckles]

Get the Taliban to blow it up because it was built for a woman.

[Buckeye McFrog]

It’s only 358 years old? In India that’s practically an urban renewal project

[Paladin2]

Imshallah.

[Red Badger]

They don’t build ‘em like they used to.............

[Keli Kilohana]

Boosh’s fault?

[Phlap]

GWs fault. That's either George Bush or Global Warming! Just ask any liberal. lol

[Night Hides Not]

Which of these 3 monuments will collapse first?

1. Taj Mahal

2. Social Security

3. Medicare

My money's on #1, but I'm not betting the house on it.

[jennychase]

Taj Mahal is symbol of atrocities against poor people. After completing this building King Shah Jahan killed or chopped labors and architectures hands, so that they can’t rebuild.

[Never on my watch]

An Islamic shrine crumbles to the ground. I’m OK with that.

[montyspython]

They can outsource the construction to the Chinese... oh wait...

[djf]

Mausoleum?

I thought it was like Boldt Castle in Thousand Islands, and that she was still alive when it was started but died before it was finished.

GREAT piece about the Taj in last month's Smithsonian magazine.

[Verginius Rufus]

I haven’t seen the figures but I believe Agra, Oklahoma, has considerably fewer than four million tourists a year. So it must be the Taj Mahal, not the name of the place, that draws the tourists.

"...the four minarets, which surround the monument, are showing signs of tilting..."

They were designed that way so when they finally did fall, they would fall outward, away from the mosque.

[Little Ray]

Not. Our. Problem.
