    The photo reminds me of those pillars you had to fly around in the original Star Wars arcade video game from the mid-1980's.

    How come all of my posts have a score of zero? And are not visible sometimes? And yes, I know it is offtopic, but if you penalize me, take a look two posts above this.

    Yeah well you hadn't heard about that collapse of the Paris terminal -- Charles de Gaul. Fuck me, I'm not travelling using it.
