Daily Mail link only because it was the first link I found in English. Originally I picked this story in Die Welt or FAZ or Der Spiegel, I forgot which one it was.

Great architecture.

The San Francisco Giants recently built a 4 or 5 hundred million dollar stadium and when it was almost completed they found that there were no bull pens for the relief pitchers to warm up in.

They just stuck them in foul ground like they were 50 years ago.

Only fitness I like to see is this

I don't think I'd want to live in that building, elevators or not. It doesn't look stable to me.

Well,, and I would not land at airport BER Berlin-Brandenburg.

It'S not as if the Spaniards are the only ones messing huge projects up. Germans excel in this modern discipline, too. Stuttgart-21, Elbphilharmonie, and especially airport BER.

They've come up with a novel practical answer...siege catapults.

They could always retrofit a lift on the outside of the building like a construction elevator.

All you need is logic.

I like this solution.

Maybe they can move that full size trebuchet they have in Denmark that I have seen on TV.It has two wheel cages much like a hamster wheel that you walk inside to wind it.Currently it is situated on a lake .I think they could move it and test it out on a real target.

I for one would love to try that out.They say they used to take an expired bit of livestock and stick the carcass in the sling and send em on over the walls.I just wonder what would a cow do to a Spanish skyscraper.Of course it should be humane and all the cow must die of natural causes.Before it hits the building I mean.

What I would do in the old day is place Peers Morgan in the sling and send him over the wall they would yield to my demands in no time.
