Just one? :-) I was LOL the whole time!

I have to say that's extremely creative, innovative and cool!

LOL... Doesn't that sound familiar!

Wow. It just occured to me, for a split second, that I could make a very very
cool creation with some gothic elements. I was thinking of this pic of a
gothic church I saw once in an architecture lecture... I wish I had a pic.
It's hard to explain, but it looks like you have two cylinders lying on their
rounded sides, crossing each other at 90 degrees, with the cross-sections
taken out; then you cut thru the horizontal center, and put the whole thing on
cloumns... and you get a four-way arched hallway intersecting at one spot.
I'll bet that doesn't make any sense; but it doesn't matter, because TLC
doesn't make any intersection arches. :-( Too bad, it would've been SO cool.
(OK, 'nuff digression)

I love it! I'll have to copy, I couldn't come up with a simple and elegant
throne myself... (a creative gal like me, who woulda thunk? ;-)

It sounds like you're talking about either (C), the Ribbed Vault, or (B), the
Groin or Cross Vault. :)

Thanks! Yep, I was referring to the cross vault.
Now I have to go check out the rest of that page! Thanks for the link!
