This post has been a long time in the making but I wanted to make sure I had my facts straight before I reported it. I first heard about the Reykjavik mall's dirty little secret at lunch when a coworker told me...then a few weeks later another more reliable source confirmed it.
By scrounging around a bit on the internet I was able to find the evidence needed (thank you google images). Apparently the architect of the mall had a sense of humor because he designed the structure into a rather strange shape. Here's an aerial photo...

Yes that's right - it's a penis. The locals actually call it "the penis mall." I discovered this fact pretty early on, but the icing on the cake came when I found a pic of something much weirder. Apparently it was also designed to change colors based on temperature; how they pulled this part off I have no idea.
It's hard to argue that Icelandic people don't have a sense of humor!
