Interesting fact about the pentagon.
It was made that shape because the land set aside for it was that shape.
After the designs were mostly done, they changed the site but kept the design mostly the same, only making it more regularly sized on the sides.
Fun fact... early Pentiums had a math bug in them.

So the joke went around saying "Why is it 'Pentium' instead of '586'?"
"Because they took the first chip off the line, had it add 486+100 and got 585.982846543..."
