How do they do this?
(in a further effort to procrastinate, I found this photo to post here)

I took this photo last year in Sausalito, California. I didn't have time to linger and really examine this, I was taking friends to the airport and we had just stopped for a quick lunch. But, I did see one of the towers fall down, so I know they are not attached in any way.

How does this work????

Seriously, I have no idea. There's a guy here in Santa Cruz who does that sort of thing, too. It's very cool and looks kind of zen to me.

4. I think a more salient question would be
"How did they get San Francisco Bay to tilt like that?" :shrug:

Really. That's why one of the stacks fell.

7. 'We have a Sig Alert on the Bay Bridge
Motorists heading eastbound into Oakland will be driving uphill while those driving into San Francisco can save some gas by coasting downhill. Your next KCBS traffic report will be at 2:38 p.m."
