That would be such a great shag-pad.

Bob Guccione (?sp) epitomized all that was the 70's. I gotta believe he was the progenitor Guido with more money than class.

They never thought it would happen to them . . .

That better be one helluva nice apartment building. If that price includes the shell only - because how could they price the buildout at this point? - the price is just getting started.

How many parking spaces does a 14,000sqft pad come with?

Don't forget amenities like the private pool, subby. Watersports are one way in which the Penthouse distinguishes itself from its rivals.

Do all the HOA letters begin with-

Dear Penthouse... ?

Couldn't they have just stolen it from their dad's closet?

The humor of this headline will be lost on many of our younger readers, so please allow me the opportunity to explain.

Before the advent of the internet, young men often used visual depictions of naked women printed on paper as masturbatory aids. One of the more popular magazines at the time was called "Penthouse". Penthouse was often preferable to Playboy because unlike Playboy, Penthouse published pictures of beautiful women spreading their labia, while Playboy refrained from such depictions. Young men would masturbate while looking at pictures of nude women, and at the point of maximum arousal, they would ejaculate onto said pictures. If the young man did not wipe the pages thoroughly and closed the magazine, the ejaculate would dry causing the pages to stick together. Should someone other than the original ejaculator find a Penthouse magazine with pages stuck together, it would often cause considerable disgust and consternation.

I hope you enjoyed your lesson in primitive sexuality. Please tune in next week for a lively presentation on the disappearance and subsequent reemergence of pubic hair as well as the origination of ass-to-mouth.

Is it just me, or is "luxury condo" an oxymoron?

That was always my assumption.

They can get pretty nice. With a budget like that, I could make some serious luxury.

A penthouse apartment in London's Knightsbridge neighborhood was purchased for about 100 million pounds ($157 million), a person with knowledge of the transaction said.

The undisclosed buyer paid about 7,000 pounds a square foot for the unfurnished duplex in the Bulgari Hotel and Residences


So by my math that's about a 14,300 square foot "penthouse". Still crazy expensive, but I'm guessing there's not a huge number of 15K-square-foot pads in central London. Wait, what's this?

"Having the Bulgari brand adds about thousand pounds a square foot," Hannah said.

Omni magazine more than makes up for this alleged lack of class.

But they're like Santa - as soon as you stop believing, they stop showing up.

My house has something like 3k sq ft if I were to finish the basement. I paid about 250k for it.

So this guy's place is 5 times bigger, and 600 times more expensive?

I don't care where you live, that is just unbelievably retarded.

About four good hauls in the late seventies (aged 10 or 11 with my buds).

A couple of Playboys, but the Hustler and the Penthouse finds were the real mother-loads.

At the time we did assume some sort of divine act.

In retrospect though, it was more likely a concerned mother or a pissed off wife/girl-friend who delivered these to us.
