Somebody just sent me this today. It's a way to get people to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Thought it was pretty cool. I know I'd take the stairs if I saw this. Maybe even get there late. What about you? Have a look:

thumbuphappy That is cool. If it keeps us moving and keeps the weight off ....woot! Fend off those heart attacks and other health problems.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

I don't know if I'd ever make it off the stairs!

hiya dawn

An excellent idea! thumbup
I'd use stairs more often if they were piano keys! I'd be late for wherever i was going though! hehehe
It reminds me of that movie with Tom Hanks. erm.... you know the one lol
BIG... I wouldn't be so big if I was playing on stairs all day LOL

Alice happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Yep that was fun. They should put a chinese restaurant near those stairs (chopsticks hahaha)...


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

lol well if they did it would make a roaring business, but nobody would get to work whistle


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

confused


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

lol I found something on another discussion that made this clearer... muscles on legs that look like eggs lol
I'm sure zed was a bit lost that day whistle


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

muscles on legs that look like eggs make you come out of your shell? confused


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Someone sent me this as well, how funny is that, great stuff,
Be great if Liberace and Barry Manilow got to the stairs at the same time
Chinese people could play chop sticks!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

lol Liberace & Manilow they could clear the stairs whistle


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

How bout Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly?


myLot reputation of 74/100. vonmac (2649)   ranked 121 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Bobby Crush!!! Alice will mind o him.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Googled him. I wonder if he's any good with is feet though...


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Bobby crush??? nope doesn't ring any bells. I must go -ogle

 
4. myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4932)   ranked 57 out of 529 in have fun   3 months ago

I think it's neat! I'd have trouble getting my kids off the stairs if that were near me!


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

I know for sure that I would have problems getting the kids off the stairs!!!

 
5. myLot reputation of 96/100. purplealabaster (893)   ranked 212 out of 529 in have fun   3 months ago

That looks like fun. I try to use the stairs anyway, but that would definitely make it more fun and entertaining. If there wasn't anybody else on the stairs, I could even see myself trying to play a song on them. blush rolleyes


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

me too!:-)


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Aren't the notes all going to get mixed up when there's more than one person on the stairs though? confused I'd be telling them to get off! lol whistle


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

I was thinking that too!

 
6. myLot reputation of 71/100. TheGreatWhiteBuffalo (1443)   ranked 136 out of 529 in have fun   3 months ago

That is well it is really musical... What a cool idea if only it was practical, but I like the concept.:)


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

I do wonder how long before it breaks, but really cool idea!

 
7. myLot reputation of 95/100. cobrateacher (4271)   ranked 74 out of 529 in have fun   3 months ago

Hi, D!
What a fabulous idea! I'd do it, for sure!


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

I love the idea, too bad it's in Sweden...


myLot reputation of 95/100. cobrateacher (4271)   ranked 74 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

We Americans have always been good at stealing good ideas from other countries...


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

lol
We could claim they stole the idea from OUR movie!


myLot reputation of 95/100. cobrateacher (4271)   ranked 74 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Sure! Enough of our politicians have done that to make it seem almost OK.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

:-)

 
8. myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15612)   ranked 50 out of 529 in have fun   3 months ago

that was really cool! but I don't see anything like that working here, for one thing, we don't have a LOT of public stairs like those


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

for another they'd probably be vandalized...


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15612)   ranked 50 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

sad but true - heck, around here the neighborhood kids would do it because they are bored!


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

and then wonder why the heck they didn't have anything fun to do afterward!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15612)   ranked 50 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

these kids are idiots, making music wouldn't be fun, destroying things is fun


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5239)   ranked 45 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Maybe that's why these things are only put in upper class areas? Do the rich and elite..or even snobs have youth vandals?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15612)   ranked 50 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Oh, yeah, but they have ways of catching them - cameras and the like - so they don't tend to get away with it as much. Probably part of the cameras were to catch people trying to vandalize their stuff.

 
9. myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12361)   ranked 6 out of 529 in have fun   3 months ago

That is a brilliant dea! Wish they had them here and then I would definately use them.

Did you go and look at the website? The word 'fun' caught my attention and I guess there might be some more ideas there soon.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Nope, I didn't. Not enough time...


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12361)   ranked 6 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Not enough time stopped me getting here earlier.
Must have been a man that decided there are only 24 hours in a day doh


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10391)   ranked 1 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

lmao clearly it was a man!


myLot reputation of 98/100. zed_k4 (4880)   ranked 80 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Make it 30 hours a day and I shall have enough time.. w00t


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12361)   ranked 6 out of 529 in have fun  3 months ago

Hi dawnald,


The video is not available it said, but I for one never take the elevator and I have got stuck in one before and wouldn't go in it again, so I always take the stairs, when I need to.
