Initially, I thought this was a serious bit of bling on the Pope's chopper..

bling on the Pope's chopper..

Is that why he's retiring then?

Never heard that term used for choirboys before...

They were just polishing his halo.

That pool is ace!

 

[Gramaisc]

If I had to swim in that, then the water level would probably be very slightly higher after I had got out...

 

[Glam]

I knew you'd post that here!

 

[Floss]

Wow!

Or this one, then - 23 floors straight down....

Wonder how long before they can create a fully clear one extending out? Computer, give me the formula for transparent aluminum.

Not quite "stoopid pictures", but staying with the theme of the above pools slighty... this is the 170m tall Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
1. News picture of tower (not taken by me)
2. View of the glass floor looking up from the ground
3. Taken looking down infront of my feet.

And believe me when I say those pictures do not do it justice!! If you ever venture to that part of the country it is well worth the fee to go up on the lift. When you exit the lift and take your first look out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you WILL gasp!
