    As long as (a) you aren't spending money that you don't have and (b) someone asks you to pay them back what you borrowed to spend because you didn't have it. When those two things occur, you have spent your way to a worse economy.

    If anyone tried to recreate the Titanic scene (I'm The King Of The World!), I'd throw him or her out through the three layers of half-inch thick glass.

    @USB_Humping_Dog: That's like when I was a little kid, and my dad (6'3" probably 260 at the time) thought it was awesome to swing back and forth as hard as he could when we were at the top of the Ferris Wheel.


    Holy crippity crap. I still have nightmares.

    @Nicolas Suarez Saieh: Um, no. A building owner does not need the original architect's "permission" to change a building. It's not protected like a piece of sculpture is. And from the city, they need permits, but not permission. And it would eb highly unlikely that the city would deny a permit for a superficial modification.

    Frankly I always thought that building was ugly as fuck, and the silver rendering looks nice. If they reclad it as opposed to painting it, I'd call it an improvement.

    This is only a ploy to invalidate my favorite object to fly into in Microsoft's Flight Simulator.

    They have? that's not surprising. Also what I was thinking of was actually Flight Simulator II for the Apple II by subLOGIC, from before it was even a Microsoft product anyway.

    Chicagoins will burn the tower to the ground before they see it go silver. But maybe it's an attempt for New York to be the new location for the next batman film?

    @Con Seannery tells the Facebook haters to badge up!: Dude what is your problem with Facebookers? I admit, SOME of them post stupid comments, but both of those Facebooker's comments were completely legit-- they both brought up some good points.


    Stop being such an asshole to Facebookers for no reason, I can't believe you have banning privileges.
