WOW... the size of this thing. Las Vegas - worlds largest sphere. (VIDEO)

[iamwhatiseem]

Holy crap... look towards the end of the video to get perspective how big this thing is. The highway next to it.
WOW

That reminded me of this...

Fascinating. Kinda reminds me of the other world's largest sphere - the earth.

Ever notice how God doesn't create many things that are straight? Most everything in the universe is spherical, circular, or random patterns. Even something that appears to be a straight line has a curve to it, except for maybe an object being pulled into a gravitational force.

But even atoms are spherical.

Cool but really it's just a tribute to the arrogance of man.

That's what she said...

Yep.
When looking for man made objects say in the woods your eyes will automatically find straight lines.

Must take an awful lot of energy to cool that thing and to even light it up! Doesn't sound very green to me, I think Joe needs to take a look at that.

Vegas is a unique place. I would generally consider it a place to visit or even live if not for the perceived history of corruption. Twice I turned down a free trip there, all expenses paid. I don't enjoy gambling to any significant degree outside of poker which I havent done for years now. I have been a fan of theirhocme cloub since the joined the NHL, they won the Cup.this year. Just a party town.

The corruption was real, not perceived...

I'm not a gambler, but when I lived in SoCal the Mrs and I would run out to Vegas two, sometimes three times a year for three or four days. We'd drink, eat, watch people, take in a show or two, just have fun. There's more to Las Vegas, especially these days, than gambling...

Someone must have some pretty good drugs in Las Vegas, when they thought that thing up.

I would love to see Brit Pink Floyd play in there.
PRobably would be a great way to drug up and go out in your final few hours
