"When is a sidewalk fully dressed? When it's Waring Hudsucker!"


The Sun-Times reports that Sears Tower in Chicago is having installed extensions jutting 4.3 feet out from the west side of its 103rd-floor observation platform.

These extensions will have all-glass walls, and and an all-glass ceiling. And an all-glass floor. So it will seem you are standing out there in mid-air, 1353 feet up. Like Dumbo, or something.

They are only doing it on the west side because, due to the stepped-back construction of the Tower, the west side is the only side where a person four feet out from the building would be able to look down and see all the way to the sidewalk. The hard, hard sidewalk, upon which your body would make a thin, wide puddle.
