Reader ‘William’ found these two ‘parachute training towers‘ at Ft. Benning in Georgia. I did a few Google searches but couldn’t get a conclusive answer on what exactly these parachute training towers are or who uses them. I’m guessing they’re the army’s idea of base jumping?

The United Center was built in 1994 to replace the Chicago Stadium and is home to the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls. It’s apparently the largest arena in the United States.

Yup, some crazy person actually intends to live in this old Boeing 727 which he’s got up on blocks in his garden, near Portland, Oregon. You can read more than you ever cared to know about his plans over at www.airplanehome.com.
