OMG. Just ran across this on the tv.  Build a dome "over Houston" (that right there is hilarious), because we have Hurricanes, heat and humidity.  Erm. I want some of what they were smokin.


So funny I put it in the wrong area.

Nice engineering for somewhere, but seriously Houston?

Houston is worth saving?

No its not. I lived there for three months. The only cool people that live in Houston are DMFers.

that pic in the link looks like Boston, not Houston.

I figured the dome would be to keep the Houstonians in. I mean-we could always fill it with water, or turn it into a giant thunderdome-"1,000,000 enter, one man leaves!" sort of thing. We could videotape it and play it on tv.


C'mon guys be positive! There has to be a use for Houston in some way shape or form.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

You're right Mr. Inc.

Think positive, think positive....umm, something useful for Houston, okay......umm, something Houston can do.....ummm. BINGO!

Maybe Houston can spend a bunch of taxpayer $$ and, and send the state into bankruptcy? Oh wait, I think Cali has that covered.  :-X

I was thinking military target. We can pave over it after it's leveled.
