30 St Mary Axe

I reckon it will be bought by a Russian billionaire oligarch and used to house a mass destruction super weapon. :D

A question in a recent pub quiz I went to - how many curved panes of glass in The Gerkin?

I'm guessing its a trick question and its actually none, but I cannot be arsed to cheat and use google to find the actual answer
 
Fair play to you for not being arsed to cheat. :)

The answer, or at least the answer given in the quiz, I haven't googled it either, was not none.

Seems like the Gherkin is in a pickle.
