Looks like I’ve found my next home as Biosphere 2 is up for sale. That should be more than enough room for a good sized LAN party!

The Texas company that built and owns the Biosphere 2 Center near Oracle announced Monday that it has formally put up for sale the 3.1-acre glass terrarium and 70 other buildings on the 140-acre campus.

“This is one of the most spectacular properties in Southern Arizona - if not the most spectacular - so we think it should attract some interest,” said Christopher T. Bannon, general manager of Decisions Investment Corp. of Fort Worth, which owns Biosphere 2.

I’ll definitely have to hire a maid, though, there’s no way I’m washing all those windows myself.

Know what? If I was mega-rich, I’d...well, let me backtrack here...if I was mega-rich, I’d give away all of the money to worthy causes, leaving myself enough to a) live comfortably for the rest of my life, and b) buy Biosophere 2.

Then I’d go get myself a really, really big pile of rocks.

Just think about all the wee...er...geraniums you could grow and sell.

I imagine that if it doesn’t go to some bio-tech company that it might be jointly purchased by some educational institutions.

Hey I love the idea of growing the...um, geraniums there.  Perhaps I can get this mess out of my basement.

Sure. Every good cult needs both a spiffy headquarters and indoctrination for the kids.

Does the thing have a secret airstrip? Or at least a concealed helipad?

Nice pad, but it is not much of a dome. More of a ziggurat really.

The ladies would be all up ons to vistit that place.

You know, I went over the the biosphere this past June or July… It sucked!!  I’m not surprised it is for sale the way they let it go downhill!  and the plus side.. my husband stole a lime that was pretty tasty and got used in a Corona.
