Only, you know, a nice one. Not that overinflated piece of crap.
Actually, it would be cool to live in something like a skyscraper if you did something weird and interesting with it.
Like, set up multiple floors as greenhouses and have families living above them. Start some kind of living space / work co-op and grow foods and start manufacturing clothes and go compete with American Apparel's LA space or somesuch.
Ancient castle in the mountains of Europe turned into a hidden fortress of DOOOOOOOOM! That is what I would have if I was a bond level supervillian rich.
Aww yeah had a good time at my friend's fancy pants party and ended up sporting the whole green man suit, can't wait for the pics to be up on facebook.

SNCF assures me that there are inexpensive fares on the route I am interested in, but offers no clue as to how to go about booking tickets at said fares. This is aggravating.

I just wanted to stop in Paris on the way! I actually want to book the TGV Lyria to Geneva (20 euros each way, allegedly).

I withdraw my insinuation. The French, in their perfidious way, have arranged the transport infrastructure of Western Europe in such a way as to force good British or Anglophones types to debase themselves upon the altar of train based convenience.
I find it is less the French as a whole more the Parisians. Who for lack of a better word, are assholes Nerd. Rude, smelly assholes. But the French in places like Nice are wonderful.
I may phone Raileurope (which appears to be the only UK booking agent) and demand to know why it won't offer me a ticket on this route that costs less than 200 euros.

Totally Desc. In fact, I think I will be watching this new Doctor for as long as she is on the show. Semi-Scottish accent too. Which I find appealing. :winky:

Screw Lovecraft, slandering octopii gods. He pushed the pro-squid movement back so many years.

If you can work out such a cheap ticket then do advise me, as that is quite the price. My main problem with trains is that even the fast ones are just slightly too slow for most of my weekend/long weekend trips, in that I try to keep travel time to an absolute minimum.
I will hopefully spend a bit of time traveling around Spain sometime before I leave Europe, on their new high speed network. I took a trip from Madrid to Segovia last year on a line just completed not long before I arrived and it was pretty amazing as well as cheap. Although not so convenient in timing, as I had to take the old regional slow train to get back.
However, the Georgia Tech system was designed to work in a dark cinema, seeking out would-be pirates filming movies on domestic video cameras, where the CCD sensor is exposed many times a second. How effective it would be in bright sunlight is less clear. "The biggest problem is making sure we don't get false positives from, say, a large shiny earring," said a researcher on the project, Jay Summet.

It seems to be possible, but not easy, to travel for really ridiculously little money between major cities in Europe, which has got me enthused about the idea of taking a few days and hitting two or three cities per trip. I've found railbookers.com, which doesn't allow you to book online, you have to call. I spoke to them this morning about going to Brussels and they quoted £244 per person to travel by train from New Street to Brussels via London and Eurostar (the total travel time works out to about five hours but that's almost literally from walking out of my door to stepping off a train in the centre of Brussels) with three nights bed and breakfast in a hotel off the Grand Place. I should maybe give them another call and see about a more complex itinerary.
I have a feeling that travelling by train might be the inverse of flying, in that the best deals seem to be available via agents instead of booking direct from websites.
I believe Zimbabwe has officially adopted the US dollar as the principal currency for everyday use. They are also one of the primary users of the $2 bill, which is apparently with the assistance of the US government (Treasury?)

You could even host a real-life roguelike.
