2. No. Nobody has ever noticed that before. You are the first.
Now that you mention it, it does look rather like a big square concrete and steel penis with an enormous sharp spike at the top and windows up the sides. So, just like a normal penis, then.

3. I don't think that what you did was notice.
I think you may have projected.

6. No, never
However, if you were to comment on the DuBois Library at UMass/Amherst looking like a penis you wouldn't be the first. I remember a fired up speaker during the Goodell takeover going completely 'round the bend and talking about tearing down the dormitories that were our prisons, and the DuBois Library - the phallic symbol of patriarchal dominance. She was good until then, and that killed the crowd's response. She got awkward applause.

8. To some people, anything that's longer than it is wide is a phallic symbol.

Watch the conclusion of either King Kong or The Fountainhead. Freudian Psy 101.

19. The world would not be a bad place with a few more giant penises.

But we could benefit from having a few less dicks.
