Re: Happy Birthday, fccs
Have a wonderful birthday Debbie - any nice celebrations planned or will they have to wait until the weekend?

Thank you. We’re (son, dil, me) going to dinner tonight at a spinning rooftop restaurant in Washington, D.C. I’m looking forward to it.

Re: Happy Birthday, fccs
I always feel a bit disappointed with spinning restaurants.
Many, many years ago I went on a fairground ride in Paderborn in W Germany which was a large open topped cup. Maybe 30-40ft across and 8ft high (I was small, so it looked huge), and the cup started to spin faster & faster until everyone was stuck to the outer rim. One or two adventurous souls actually put their feet on the rim and walked about, stuck there by the centripetal force acting like gravity holding them to the rim, bodies horizontal compared to normal gravity. Then the cup pivoted so that the axis of rotation moved from vertical to horizontal. And at times the adventurous souls were standing up-side-down on the underside of the cup rim, while everyone else was simply lying on their backs stuck to the rim.
That's how a spinning restaurant should be in my view. Instead they rotate gently and there is no standing on the walls. <Sigh>

Re: Happy Birthday, fccs
Your way is much more exciting, it's true, but probably wouldn't do much for people's digestion...

Re: Happy Birthday, fccs
My thoughts exactly. I’m sure there’s an engineer somewhere whose job it is to determine how fast a restaurant can spin without making folks sick. lolMabel Figworthy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:49 am Your way is much more exciting, it's true, but probably wouldn't do much for people's digestion...
