I was feeling stupid until I read this:
At an after-work party in 1993, Canadian attorney Garry Hoy was showing a group of visiting law students how unbreakable the windows were in the Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower (center). He threw himself against one and it held. He did it again, and it gave way. Hoy plunged 24 stories to his death.

Michele sent me to consider the irony of that situation. Especially as it was a lawyer.
What can I say??
Michele sent me.
Whoops. :)
Michele sent me. Have a great weekend.
Gee, I don't think I wanted to read that today. Or any day.
Hi, I'm here from Michele's place.
Thanks David for that jolly story before I go to bed. If I have nightmares I shall know who to blame:)It's my second visit today so thank you for having a new post.
Michele sent me and now I'm off to bed. Night night!
I wonder if he yelled
"I can fly!"
on the way down...
Now I feel smart, too-
i read more, he was 39
i mean, does that seem a little old for showing off to college girls?
I wonder if his estate sued the window manufacturer?
Oh David! I am soooo glad I stopped in - I am sure that I have worked with him or someone in his family in my past however many years of employment....I only wish I had been there when it happened if he had been one of those that I have worked for or with.....Michele sent me this time but I really like it here and would have come on my own later...have a great end of the week.
Michele sent me, David. I can't believe I'd not heard of that guy before this. How stupid can you be??!!
I remember when this happened ... I was working a couple buildings away. What the heck was he thinking?!
