A while ago, I posted about the Cool Coke Can Pyramid (CCCP) that I had built in my office. But I was unable to produce photographic documentation, so dopers were (rightly) skeptical. Now, I have completed its bigger and better successor, the Cool Coke Can Pyramid 2 (CCCP2), and I have photos to prove it.  
First of all, [here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxthevool/detail?.dir=5071&.dnm=3397.jpg&.src=ph) is my first coke can installation, the triple layered desk/floor lining.

[Here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxthevool/detail?.dir=5071&.dnm=4dbb.jpg&.src=ph) is the original CCCP.

[Here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxthevool/detail?.dir=5071&.dnm=fba8.jpg&.src=ph) is a zoomed in detail of the CCCP2.

[Here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxthevool/detail?.dir=5071&.dnm=221e.jpg&.src=ph) is the CCCP2 in all its glory.  
And finally, [here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxthevool/detail?.dir=5071&.dnm=db07.jpg&.src=ph) is the crowning touch, the truck used by the wee little elves who show up in the middle of the night to do the construction.

Now if only I could figure out how to use my powers to meet cheap women… 🙂

Yes. Yes I did. All in one sitting in fact. And I also use it to bathe my nether regions. What, don’t you?

I believe if you analyze the angles of the holes, you’ll find that they contain encrypted messages about the end times.

This is bullsh\*t man! There’s a bunch of Dr. Pepper cans in there! I’d rather have clam juice.

That’s right! Who do you think you’re foolin’, Max?

And another thing: My seven year old took one look at the photo and said “That’s not a pyramid. It’s a triangle!” And since he just made a sugar-cube pyramid for school yesterday, he knows what he’s talking about.

I was expecting this thread to be about a sequel to the Soviet Union. Nice pyramid, though.

You know, it’s really easy for you armchair coke-can-pyramid builders to sit there in your egghead elite ivory towers and criticize those of us who are down here in the trenches, facing the day-in day-out challenges and stresses of CCCP assemblage – with your complaints about what precisely is a “coke can” and what precisely is a “pyramid”…

You should send those pics to your dentist. 😃
