BERLIN (Reuters) - If German politicians lack ideas for reforming the country's struggling healthcare and pensions systems, they can now blame an adverse flow of energy in their workplace. The German parliament's glass dome, a Berlin landmark, makes for bad feng shui, according to an expert in the Chinese art of positioning objects, buildings and furniture.
"The energy is downright sucked out of MPs' heads by the glass dome," feng shui adviser Wilhelm Wuschko told the mass-circulation daily Bild Saturday.
To keep the energy inside, the dome should be coated with a protective foil, he said.
Bild said the office of parliament president Wolfgang Thierse would not comment on the suggestion.

"The energy is downright sucked out of MPs' heads by the glass dome Well, that would certainly explain a lot.

feng shui adviser Wilhelm Wuschko There's the problem. The feng shui adviser has been eating with metal utensils.

This is clearly true... they no doubt built the Bund Parliament facing the turtle and not the dragon, painted it blue and have -- open beam ceilings!!!! BWAHAHAHAH! and whats worse, they probably -- get this -- used straight halls which allows all the chi to flow out of the building!!!! BWAHAHAHA!
and probably placed thorny plants at the entrance and have the seats face southwest instead of southeast! serves'em right if their chakras get f**ked up!
on the other hand, the acoustics for singing the Horst Wessel marching song are as good as they ever were...
