I'm not going to get into this structure's current state, and I'm certainly not going to give you any background on it. This lack of information serves as a great disservice to our many readers, but figured this skeleton post had to go up, then We Has Spoken's editors may decide to have some reporting done at a later date. I find this hilarious on so many levels. The hotel is incomplete, and it has no windows. It's been this way since 1992, when Boyz II Men exploded onto the scene (but probably not the North Korean scene).

From Wikipedia: The basic structure is complete, but no windows, fixtures, or fittings were installed when construction came to a halt in 1992, and it has never been certified safe for occupancy. The hotel is so massive that it is clearly visible from nearly everywhere in the city, but it is nearly impossible to get anyone to talk about it and is often seen as a metaphor of the highly secretive nature of North Korea.[9] Former CNN reporter Mike Chinoy likened it to the giant calcium deposit on the neck of late dictator Kim Il-sung. Like the Ryugyong, the growth was clearly visible despite official attempts to hide it from view.
HAHAHAHAHA...compared the hotel to a goiter
