NUance Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 A 12,600 foot high glass cage called "Step Into The Void". The worlds highest glass floor. My engineering background tells me that you could put our entire defensive front four in that little glass room and be perfectly safe. Still, I'd be nervous as hell standing on that glass floor. 2 Quote Link to comment

You and me both. I don't fear heights, I've dealt with them plenty, but I have expeirenced that "vertigo" feeling, and tht there would make my head spin a bit. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 2 suspects dead after gunfire at Muhammad exhibit Jobin Panicker, WFAA-TV, and William M. Welch, USA TODAY 6:56 a.m. EDT May 4, 2015 GARLAND, Texas — Two suspects were killed after they opened fire Sunday in a parking lot outside a provocative contest for cartoon depictions of the prophet Muhammad, authorities said. LINK Why in the world would anyone stage an event like this? 100% chance that it would offend Islamic extremists to the point of violence. The organizers are incredibly lucky that a bunch of people didn't get killed over this. / I am NOT saying the Islamic extremists were in the right. They were not. But it's predictable that the nature of this event would goad them to violence. Quote Link to comment

The 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scroll, from a collection of the world's most ancient biblical manuscripts discovered near the Dead Sea east of Jerusalem, has never before been publicly displayed in Israel and has only been shown in brief exhibits abroad, said Pnina Shor of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
