Topic: The Fun Theory

A group called the Fun Theory did an experiment in Stockholm to try to get more people to use the stairs instead of the escalator. I like the idea they had: it was to make the stairs a giant piano! It seems expensive, but look at the results! I think it's cool.

Re: The Fun Theory

That was cool Eric, and a good idea! People should use the stairs more often, i do!  I also thought it a little ironic that a car company are sponsoring this, why ? because cars make you lazy as well!

Re: The Fun Theory

Very creative idea. However, my guess is the people who go that way everyday will be back on the escalator within a week.

She just can't seem to find the time (or inclination) to sit at the pc for long enough at home to read, and reply to, all the stuff of interest to her. I'll try and get her to spend some time on the forum when she's here 'on holiday'.
