Which is where the original argument came from (and I agree) .. the 
poles would implode, thus degrading the structure and causing the 
equator to explode.

One poster (somewhere, not here) suggested a band rather than a sphere. 
The 'band' would be the equatorial region and would (somehow) hold 
together as it spun.
