    It's mostly b/c in the Nice Planet thread, these two posters only post certain-themed-stories. That's all.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                I have not and will not (with this one exception) post on this thread. Any post attributed to me has been moved here by someone pretending to be me, which is in violation of USCHO rules. It's also arrogant and childish. While you're within your rights to object to my posting gangsta gun crime statistics from Chicago, you're not within your rights to move my posts or pretend that you're me. I'd recommend that you cut it out.

                  That just might be Board moving your posts to the "appropriate" thread.

                    Only a board moderator can move your post. And this is a privately owned forum, so your "rights" here aren't so much rights as permissions granted by the site's owners and operators.

                      Correct!

                      They now have a new classification of "Non-criminal Death" which reduces the homicide rate in the city.

                        "12 is about as old as I can handle. . .I love them 6,7,8." Online chat apparently quoting a former Illinois legislator, who resigned "suddenly," and is facing serious criminal charges for sexual abuse of little girls. Did I mention Abraham Lincoln came from Illinois?

                              There are cracks in the glass of the observation deck at the Sears (or whatever its called these days) Tower.

                                Nah, not in the loop area.



                                The floor is (from what I read and remember) made of three layers of glass and combined is almost two inches thick. It was the top layer inside the building that cracked.

                                One article I saw said it was designed to break that way and didn't pose harm to the rest of the structure (but people shouldn't use it while it's cracked). Obviously a simplified explanation.

                                My uninformed opinion is the top layer is like hockey glass, was tempered and fractured due to small scratches in the surface. The guys who were on it prior had something in their shoes (sharp rocks), on their pants (bent/broken metal rivet), or were wearing jewelry (watch/rings) which caused the scratch. I saw that the park service makes observers on the Grand Canyon's glass bridge wear booties to prevent scratches.

                                Another article I read (Gawker? Deadspin?) had comments from people who said all they do is see people and kids jumping up and down in the boxes to see "just how strong it is."
