In this video, I show how to setup a classic mousetrap with peanuts. ******************************************** What is wrong with architecture? by PRPaul For thirty years, I have had ideas about how buildings are built.

Not far from the centers of wealth where structurally sound building go to waste, you will find people who work in these buildings going home to sleep in unsafe structures. As far as I am concerned a building that is well designed is a building that is not going to be destroyed at the end of it usefulness at the present location. Imagine a building foundation that is complete with the basement fully covered. You are now looking at a cement slab representing the first floor. Imbedded in this cement floor are tracks (straight and curved). The tracks are there to guide the different units of the house that make up a typical human habitat. All these units prefabricated and delivered by trucks. They unload them and slide or roll them in place. Workers connect the pipes and utilities cables and place a roof over it all. This process can be repeated on each and every floor of a tall building, assuming that there is an elevator large enough to carry the different units up.
