Glass floors would make it better.

Um, the floors are glass.

But it’s a good ice-breaker when picking up boozed-up chicks. I guess at the GhostBar, it’s the ONLY conversation piece.

LOL! I LOVE IT!

All I could think of was “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”...didn’t they go up there and put their heads against the glass?

I took a helicopter lesson last week for an hour...no doors on the dinky thing. I didn’t even think until I put the helicopter in a bank, looked out at the ground to my right and suddenly thought “Hm. Is my seatbelt REALLY buckled securely???”

Made me think real hard for a second...

“I see Paris, I see France...”

Great minds, and all that; I was thinking the same thing.

Hehe...I think what made me think of it immediately was the guy in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off who looked DOWN and thought he saw his dad...:)

So, when I saw THAT picture...

There is an attraction at the house on the rock in Wisconsin where part of the building stretches out over a valley with no supports underneath, and a single square cut-out at the very end where you can look down at the valley and trees below.

I got nauseous just over that. No way would I do that at the Sears tower.

After viewing those slides, all I can say is...

No way in hell!

I’m ok with heights as well - a bit hesitant, but get over it very quickly. I’m ok with falling too.

I have major phobia issues with impact though .... luckily I’ve found a way to avoid all but the smallest ones by avoiding the first two as much as possible.

Oh, if the muzzies get busy again people will have a good view of the airplanes coming in.

I bungee jumped once out of a hot air balloon, but as far as parachuting, they don’t make an airplane big enough to hold all the people it would take to throw me out.
