AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around playful banter about personal achievements, particularly the ownership of statues and towers in various locations. One participant humorously claims superiority due to having a statue in Sweden, while others jest about their own "statues" and the lack of notable landmarks in their areas. The conversation shifts to a whimsical critique of a penguin-themed tower, with jokes about its structural integrity and the potential for it to vibrate when in use. Participants engage in light-hearted teasing, referencing engineering concepts and the notion of women in engineering, while also making humorous remarks about personal relationships and dating. The dialogue maintains a comedic tone throughout, with frequent asides and playful insults, reflecting a camaraderie among the participants.

Because besides Evo's statue in Sweden, none of you have your own tower in another nation :smile: :smile:

Nonsense! Why, it looks like summer in that picture, and you're in direct afternoon sun! With the AC on I'm easily twenty degrees cooler than you. Also I'm more popular. :-p
 
For some reason, I thought there was a poplar penguin. :confused: That would have been cool, but
The Magellanic penguin is often called the jack*** penguin...

suits Pengwuino better anyway. :-p
 
It looks like someone put a giant novelty condom on the Eiffel Tower.
 
Penguin condoms...interesting

Hay you forgot about my statues (the ones that are left anyway)!
 
Nothing in Fresno is "cool," either literally or figuratively.

People use me as lawn ornaments! :approve:

On the downside, my girlfriend is a mechanical blow-up doll. (Figuratively speaking, I'm referring to smurfette)

That is, unless you used "coolest" as an intentional double meaning. If you mean "coolest" as in "coldest," then you win.

Drive-way ornament good enough for you?

How many people do you know with little Pengwino's tattooed on them? (lenin beats me here)

I'm pretty sure I make a much better christmas ornament too!

Dude, you just quoted yourself! That's like... against the unwritten rules of the 'net man. You NEVER quote yourself except as a smart-ass remark towards someone saying something stupid.

I kinda like Le Tour Pengwuino. Someone ought to put Barbie on the Statue of Liberty for Math Is Hard.

It's actually 'Le tour de Pengwuino'

The penguin tower kinda looks like a water tour though... or a grain silo...

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I was wondering, though, if, when Pengwuino designed the tower, he took into consideration the fact that extra internal bracing might be needed. Otherwise, when people were inside, taking the elevator all the way to the top, the whole tower might vibrate vigorously.

Funny, I was wondering what size batteries it would require. :smile:

I'm sure the massive motors needed for elevators, which might cause this vibration, would require connection to the city power lines

What I'm getting at is: it seems to me a towering, vigorously vibrating thing like that might cause things to achieve a certain threshold during which we might hear groaning, from rubbing structural members, and then things would proceed to a state of relaxation where gravity would take over, and the tower would slowly flop over.

Not sure what you mean. I just think the structural integrity of the tower is very important since Evo and Moonbear seem interested in giving it a thorough workout, riding that elevator up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down.

Structural engineering is sick!

Good Lord! How did you manage to pull this out of "Why I'm the coolest member on this board?"

Now I know why I don't want to be an engineer...

I'm not sure you want to be inviting smurf to touch your tower wih you. It's really your project, and if the tower needs stiffening there are books and magazines with a lot of information and probably even revealing photographs of structural engineering secrets.

I've seen photo essays, for example, where the journalist takes us up under the Statue of Liberty's great bronze drapery to see her secrets. It's actually possible to get inside Lady Liberty, and someday I think I'd like to get inside her.

That makes me wonder. I'm not sure how tall The Statue of Liberty is, nor am I aware of how tall the Pengwuino tower might be. I wonder if you could fit your tower inside Lady Liberty?
 
  • #43
Probably!

Lady liberty is very wide and I feel a very hard, cylindrical shaped tower such as the Pengwuino Tower should be able to drive any obscurities into teh walls. I would probably need a protective shielding and proper lubrication... for the tower of course...

Evo certainly seem to be smitten by it. Strange because you don't often see women so taken with engineering. Maybe it's the French Connecion.

Really? It sure doesn't seem like women aren't taken by structural engineering by the structural engineering videos that are so prolific on the internet.

No... my architectual firm has taken al ot of heat from politicians and we are being forced to contract out to women-only firms
