    World's tallest wooden building?

    Hahaha... Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio has the world's tallest wooden roller coaster. Even though it's less than even 200 feet metal coasters, many coaster fans prefer it to the much taller and faster 400 foot coasters.

    Why?

    Because it's freaking SCARY to be on anything taller than 40 feet that's made out of wood. Because it rocks and sways every time there's a breeze.

    Ok guys, this question has always been bugging me: do buildings have a planned life span? For instance, how long is the Empire State Building supposed to last before it gets too old to be safe? 200 years? 500 years? Or will they keep refurbishing it indefinitely? How long is this wooden building supposed to last? Is this the sort of thing that engineers think about?

    Sorry to disappoint anyone out there that thought we had a gadget-loving, awesome prime minister here in Norway.

    If you read the norwegian captions for the original images it is clear that he is visiting a film studio for recording some commercials for the upcoming election, and during one of the breaks he is reading the news on the directors/editors desk.

    IF however this was his rig AND he stopped wasting my money I would consider voting for him. :)
