    Mike I saw that on the news.
    My ba**s immediately retracted into my a**hole just from watching it on TV.
    That's a hundred stories up I think they said.

      I thought it was great myself also, but I have this weird fear of heights.
      It started when I was 6 years old and almost feel out a 20th story window of the Taft Hotel in N.Y.C. I was trying to see the entrance to the building.

        Now I understand why MJ put that rag over his kids face when he hung him out the window.

        Sure hope the little rascal didn't look down...

    I also have a fear of heights but I did walk on the glass floor in the CN Tower (Toronto) like 7 years ago. I won't lie - I did not feel too comfortable.

    They have since added a glass floor elevator as well....might check it out.

    It'd depend on who else is on it.
    I've met you personally Michael...and since you are like 7 feet tall and 300 lbs....no, I wouldn't get on there with you.

    I don't mean to "top" this...But I will. Here's the Grand Canyon Sky Walk (with glass floor). It's 4000 feet above the canyon floor.

    That freaks me out big time! I have very strong memories of being dangled over the battlements of Edinburgh Castle as a child, and I think I'm scarred for life. I just don't do heights at all.

      The closest I came to that was when my uncle decided to try to convince me that we had NO spare tire on the way to scotty's castle. That was in a place called death valley. 8-/ I was about 6 at the time and my mother took a picture of me as I was basically asking why they would be so dumb as to not even have a spare tire, etc... She laughs about it to this day, and she is well into her 70s!

    Holy Crap -makes me uncomfortable just to see it in a picture. I'd rupture my bladder and probably a few arteries to boot if I was ever put in that thing.

    Fun! - Getting ready to take my son there this weekend before he goes back to school. Chicago is a blast. We'll also have dinner at the house of blues, and get some famous Garrett's Popcorn - Yum.
