The Buffalo News reviews a meeting of the local Board of Education as an experiment in absurdist theater. (via)

It may not be a catbus, but it is a catkindergarten. Or maybe a katzenkindergarten.

Ten (plus two) skybridges. (via GP)

I loved the cat kindergarten.

The skybridges are amazing. The vanishing edge one gave me that horrible behind-the-knees sense of vertigo, while also being cool. I can't figure out how it keeps the people from going over the edge.

I too loved the cat Kindergarten, though I'd love it even more if the children were obliged to enter its maw each morning dressed as grey mice.

One of the pictures makes it clear that there's actually a railing on the floor below, out far enough to catch anyone who slips over but down far enough to be invisible unless looked for from the pool. I've been in a vanishing edge pool (with nowhere near that kind of drop, and the edge is actually very cleverly constructed, with more structural support behind what looks like a single metal panel than is apparent above the water's surface.

Or kittens.

(There's also a rear door under the tail.)

Wow, that is cool. (Though they would never get me up there, no chance, no how, in an area more tectonically active than here.) But I love the idea of it.
