Zen Arado: noticed your piece about lottery tickets Wol
Zen Arado: interesting theory
Zen Arado: I see people scratching those little cards outside local supermarket
Wol Euler smiles.
Zen Arado: I think it's about adding a little excitement to their lives
Wol Euler: that too, yes, a little bit of a thrill
Wol Euler: and cheap at the price
Zen Arado: and thinking winning a lot of money would guarantee happiness as you suggested I think
Wol Euler: well, that#s a different matter
Yakuzza Lethecus: well u can buy a coffee in a cafe and for the same price u get a pound of coffee, it´s not just the product
Wol Euler: the sad fact is that most lottery winners' lives are not lastingly improved by their win
Wol Euler: (studies show)
Wol Euler: the happiness wears off, and all too often the money is quickly spent
Zen Arado: think i ead a counter survey showing that they don't all come to grief

Wol Euler: I don't know anything about that, which needles?
Yakuzza Lethecus: the planed towers
Wol Euler: well, I don't now. I'll have to look it up
Yakuzza Lethecus: http://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/...-a-976145.html
Wol Euler: fascinating. Ugly as sin, IMHO, but that's always debatable
Wol Euler: I do wonder where they plan to get the seawater for the towers to refine
Wol Euler: since Wuhan is well inland
Wol Euler: perhaps that bit was badly translated
Wol Euler: oops, my mistake. Lake water
Yakuzza Lethecus: well i just read it and thought it might be interesting
Yakuzza Lethecus: i think if in germany such projects are at all realizable
Yakuzza Lethecus: *i wonder
Yakuzza Lethecus: :P
Wol Euler: good question
Wol Euler: I think there would be serious opposition from many parties
Yakuzza Lethecus: and if everyone agrees someone will spot a fieldhamster :)
Wol Euler: yep
--BELL--
Wol Euler: if I read it rightly, the towers are basically hollow, the accomodation is all in the suspended balls and the base
Yakuzza Lethecus: the drawings are still very abstract
Wol Euler nods.
Yakuzza Lethecus: those vertical garden concepts might be nice
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: the project seems to be a few orders of magnitude bigger than anyhting the architects have built to date
Yakuzza Lethecus: i will log out now, have a good weekend and fun at zen´s session
Wol Euler: thank you, zen, enjoy the weekend
Wol Euler: and big hugs to the family!
