The Temple of Hy Brasil?  IIRC, there's supposed to be a cathedral-like 
structure on Hy Brasil made entirely of transparent glass.  Thousands of 
people can supposedly be seen within its walls.  Of course, if you're 
willing to undergo a change in theme, then you could call it "The Pequod", 
after Captain Ahab's ship.

was show the Russians a dead cat and ask them to explain it.'

"Zhukov would still be trying to account for the cat's death.'"
