    Was watching this on discovery channel, thought it was amazing. Would you like to live in a building like this?

    Apart from the fear of never getting out of it in emergency, it seems to be a good idea to me :) Eliminates a lot of the problems with living in a city.

    There's 5 of parts ;)

    And it's everything proof... They thought of everything when designing this building. Fires, earthquakes, wind, etc etc. Not sure about terrorism. Maybe they will add pew pew lazer beams to the top of it for anti terrorism.

    Now , that would be earth shattering!

    /so, men don't get electric shocks off the hoover handle then:confused:

    Must watch the rest of it when I have the time , the first part was interesting.

    Why the fvck would any sane person be hoovering the house at 8.30 am on a day off...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
