I saw a show on TLC last night about bridge maintenence. They showed some of
the bridges in New York City. One of them had already began to buckle, and
they'd put wooden slats on the underside of the bridge so that the chunks of
concrete and rusted steel wouldn't fall on the pedestrian walkway below.
They had giant wood beams wedged under it to support it. I don't think I
trust *any* construction near that city after seeing that. :)

Don't take this the wrong way, but that is geting really annyoing. I don't
read .off-topic.fun, and I think it's rude to push conversations that
originate here in this newsgroup off to other ones. Maybe it's just me, but
I'd rather talk about off-topic stuff with the people I see in real life on
a regular basis than people I've never met in my life. rtlToronto dinners
typically revolve 1/10 about lego, 9/10 about everything else in our lives
that we find hilarious or interesting to discuss at the moment.
