So, what's the over/under on how many people that's going to kill when it collapses?

I've got a bunch of these. The only problem is that I always seem to go through them in a week or less...

I've played about halfway through this game now. Don't expect the full Super Mario Bros. experience out of this one (if you're looking for that, you'll be much happier with New Super Mario Bros. on the DS) but as a relatively light platformer with a decent (if throwaway) story behind it, it's not bad.

Must have been an ACME brand piano.

At freefall, the water isn't going to be amy better than solid ground (in fact, the bushes he landed in probably broke his fall somewhat.)

If you bother to check the website, you'll see that this is a French company which is producing this.

How long will it take before this thing shows up on some cheesy reality show?

There's a building in downtown Seattle that seems similar in concept (with the building on top of a narrow "pedestal" base), although not nearly as radical in design. It's called the Rainier Tower, and it's been there since 1977. A picture can be found at the link below:

Yeah, and I'm sure the licensing fees are all paid in full too.

Whoa, that sucks...

...then gaining strength, taking over the world and subjugating humanity, but what's a few annoying side effects here and there?

Are you sure they aren't making that thing to make Soylent Green?

That must be the skyhook those guys down at the factory told me to find for them on my first day...

Anyone else here get a Google ad on top of the page advertising discounts on rooms at the Stardust? I don't think I'm too inclined to take them up on it at this point...

Almost entirely useless. They'll just wait for it to dissipate.
