		<description>I&#039;m not moving into the top floor unless there&#039;s an elevator. carring boxes/groceries all the way up... &amp; 

PS This was a skit on Monty Python were the model breaks and the building leans {think Pisa tower} at a tilt then catches fire. Still better than the building kept up by hypnosis.</description>

		<description>I guess people couldn&#039;t have chairs with wheels on them, or every time they pushed away from their sloping desks, they&#039;d roll away.

And it is spelled &quot;storey&quot; as in &quot;second storey&quot;. But it can also be &quot;story&quot;.

And if you thought that was confusing, in Italian it&#039;s spelled &quot;piano&quot;.</description>

		<description>The University of Maryland considered one such design for it&#039;s Performing Arts Center in the 1990&#039;s.  The building was designed by I.M. Pei and was far and away the best design...and the most expensive.  After undergoing the usual bureaucratic nonsense they went with another, much more pedestrian design.  Too bad.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s the way it&#039;s spelled. Try Google define:storey as compared to define:story that&#039;s what I did.</description>

		<description>So I actually bothered to read the article, and it was great.  It&#039;s so poorly thought out, it&#039;s hilarious.  People have devoted more brain power to how they wipe.  And the best part is all the comments that say it&#039;s brilliant and try to add ideas.

From the page:
&quot;A small issue:  Those who are good with numbers will immediately notice that the distance to walk from the ground office to the top office at 36,000 degrees (therefore an equivalent of 100 storeys) is 20 kilometers (twelve miles).&quot;

Why, that hardly even bears mentioning.</description>

		<description>I like when people post &quot;how feasible is X&quot; without spending the few minutes it would take to see if it already exists.

I actually came here to post about the Seattle Public Library, but I see I was beaten to the punch.

&quot;How feasible is this: a website that has posted stories and you can write comments on them!&quot;</description>

		<description>The Seattle library is like this, about 10 stories worth of spiraling bookshelves, you can walk all the way to the top without ever climbing a stair.</description>

		<description>At Georgia State University, one of the buildings started life as a parking garage, so it is built kind of like this.  

I was only in the building one time, so don&#039;t remember much about it, but it was frustrating trying to figure out what floor I was on and where the classroom was.  That was probably less a design problem than a labeling problem though, I suppose.</description>
