I would cannonball so fast in to that, showering the bystanders below. I think it would be awesome to swim in there!

[Buddy]

Cool! I'd probably be the only one in my family to swim in that though. 

[Tank]

Wow! Want!

[Icarus]

Is there no end to weird contrivances with which to entertain ourselves?  Always the rationalist, I am wondering about the cost/benefit ratio of that madcap structure.

The tourist in me wants to go there. 

The sniper in me wants to see what would happen if you shot a .50 AP round at the glass.

You would make a hole in it and all the water would leak out.

What would a better use for the money be.

Exactly. And then a person with some rubber-based square-shaped material would show up, cover the hole and stop the leak.

I imagine something a little more dramatic

Nah... Most engineers are not idiots.

Most? There's a possibility for drama there...But yeah, you're right.

Possibility, yes. I, however, go with statistics.

[xSilverPhinx]

Better than common sense I guess.

[Asmodean]

Of course! The "common" usually have no sense to speak of, especially in large groups. Statistics, however, are by their very nature sensible.
