Statistical proof? You haven't any. It's all mumbo-jumbo bollocks, along with all the other tripe on your (and linked) website.

Some people will do anything to hear "oh Honey... oh Honey... you were so good it felt like the bed was moving ... I mean, it was like the whole room was spinning". My reaction to living there would be "man, it felt the the whole room was spinning all night, then I woke up, looked out the window and couldn't figure out where I was. > On Jun 25, 9:13 am, Johnnie In The Billows <brightice2...@yahoo.co.uk> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > was spinning all night, then I woke up, looked out the window and > couldn't figure out where I was.

If you could adjust the spin rate (no-hyphen) and angle the walls you could have a fun house and ride motorcycles on the walls. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1502350904574754093 R > > > My reaction to living there would be "man, it felt the the whole room > > > was spinning all night, then I woke up, looked out the window and [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > If you could adjust the spin rate (no-hyphen) and angle the walls you > could have a fun house and ride motorcycles on the walls.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1502350904574754093 Amazing what the brain can map out. I wonder what their practice/ training looks like. Incidentally, we have the Cirque in town until July 20th.

I'm surprised it hasn't been done sooner. > I knew I shouldn't have got up this morning. What's that supposed to mean? By some of the newsgroups you posted to, though, I might be inclined to agree. ;) alt.fan.harry-potter? Hahaha very funny. ;) When they say "Dubai" do they mean "Dubai" or "somebody in Dubai"? > "The world's first moving building, a 80-storey tower with revolving > floors giving an shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its architect > says.

One has to assume that all of the units are not perfectly balanced. I wonder what would happen if all of the heavy sides aligned and it started spinning that way. That would be a weird stress. > One has to assume that all of the units are not perfectly balanced. I > wonder what would happen if all of the heavy sides aligned and it > started spinning that way. That would be a weird stress. They may be hanging the entire floor - an updated Dymaxion. The biggest problem would be having a party and having all of that movable weight meandering about, but it still wouldn't be much in relation to the weight of the structure. R |
