Spinning skyscraper

So there's a nutty architect who decided he's going to build a bunch of spinning skyscrapers, where the floors revolve around a central core. The idea is that visually it can look different and with more surface area it can generate power in novel ways.

This apparently is interesting enough that people were searching for it online. Cedar Point happens to have a ride called skyscraper, and it spins, and we happen to have a news story about it on PointBuzz. It happens to rank high on MSN for "spinning skyscraper." Out of the blue, we had a thousand bonus visits to the site yesterday just for that. Granted, those visitors are nearly worthless, as 85% of them bounce (i.e., bounce to another site because it's not what they're looking for).

Still, it's interesting, the wacky shit that goes on around the Internets.

LOL! I sent a CNN link of the spinning skyscraper to Donna last week. Her first comment (as well as my first thought) was what would the emergency evacuation plans be?

Still an interesting concept since it would be built with modular units set in place.
