Hey, slideruleera - You've provided so many links recently to great stuff...I'm wondering if you ought to put together a series of FAQ's - perhaps each with its own topic/subject and post them in appropriate forums throughout Eng-Tips. These could be simply a series of subject/link subject/link.....Just a thought.
Well, lets make it 5, old man. (according to your name I suppose you are, hehehehe) But, to be serious, thanx for the link. Interesting stuff, like always.
i particularly liked the reference (in the trasnporter bridge) to the "highway" that leads to the bridge ...
the B4237 ...
but then you'd have to know that B roads in the UK (not England, 'cause the bridge is in Wales) are scarsely highways (more like "waggon ways", but still fun to drive).
Now I got futbol and your site to pay attention to!

Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?
Near Freeport, Texas, they used to have a bridge across the Intracoastal Canal that was essentially a barge that was floated in and out of place by cables- being around it all the time, it never seemed very special, and perhaps that way with some of these other bridges. But come to think of it, I've never seen another one like it.
It seems an awfully long ways to pick a bridge up like that- did they ever think to make one that submerged below the water instead?
