Cool Place to Live
http://bylanes.com/item/171
This is a tower where each floor rotates independently. It only costs about $300,000 per floor. (I guess it's cheaper due to location) Isn't that just a cool idea? I wonder why no one has built more of them or like....on the beach?

I wonder if you can set the speed of every floor so your spinning like a top on one and slowly rotating on the next?

Oh ya, you'd have to bolt down the furniture. It would be cool if you could actually walk on the outer windows and the floor, ceiling would be your walls.

If you would read the information Mr Duke.....
Each floor is privately owned by different people. Each has it's own controls as to how fast it rotates. (Key word ROTATE....not SPIN!) |

Is the hat you borrowed from Merika that strong? And why would you suggest using the hat in such a fashion? |

Vautrin suggested that I told you to sit on the hat, I hinted toward another object that can be pointy when shrouded by clothing.
