I'm a Newbie looking for a good first exploration...help!
Hey everyone...
So I've done a lot of exploring on campus and a bit back at "home" in Massachussetts, but I'm looking to start exploring around St. Louis...What's a good starter? Something beautiful and awesome with relatively easy access (hopping fences and climbing not a real issue...can't pick locks though) and a small to non population of "residents". Any suggestions?

Welcome! Not real sure, but I bet if you do some reading you'll find something. If you were here in springfield I could show you stuff all day.
What's the point of making a point if the point you are trying to make is pointless? Do you get my point?

Welcome.
Below is a link to the Woods-Smith Castle. I haven't been there but from the pictures, it definately looks like an interesting place.

Hope you have some great adventures around StL.

If you know where St. Charles is, I can show you a few places. I just went to Noahs Ark for the first time today. I'm going back Tuesday.
You can look at memory-machine's blog to see when those guys went.

Apparently the blueprints are on file at the Missouri Historical Society Library on Skinker. The following quote is supposedly from a post-dispatch article found at the following website :
www.dupontcastle.com/castles/woodsmit.htm
"According to the blueprints and documents on file with the Missouri Historical Society, Wood-Smith's castle would have 2O spacious rooms,including 11 bathrooms,and a dining room with a spectacular panoramic view of the Mississippi River.
It would have two swimming pools,one outdoors and another in the basement for winter swimming. Plans called for a billiard room, numerous guest rooms and spacious servant's quarters. There were to be sunken gardens, a tower, a waterfall fountain, tennis courts, a golf course and a stable."

Over half the rooms would be bathrooms? That guy must've had a terrible badder.squabbit wrote:Apparently the blueprints are on file at the Missouri Historical Society Library on Skinker. The following quote is supposedly from a post-dispatch article found at the following website :

Speaking of bathrooms, am I the only one who wants a urinal in their bathroom? Why is this only a public bathroom feature?
I shit like once a year, so this would be efficient to have.

tHAT BE AWESOME, I always loved the tall ones when I was a kid, it was kinda like playing in a puddle, you gor to splash around a bit. I'd love a urinal , you could always turn one into a planter and mount it outside. Easy to waterthe plants then...They aren't just for peeing anymore!
Re: I
I stayed at a hotel in Japan that had a toilet/bidet with a computer in it and a keypad that had all kinds of functions. You could wash your ass with a mist, or a pulse, or a spray, and there was a digital temperature control and soap suds. I am absolutely serious. We Americans don't know what we are missing. We are busy squandering our technology on the space program and the military when we could have R2D2 shitters.
Re: I
silverstreak, somewhere in Canada there is a house with a row of about 20 toilets (not urinals, though) that go all the way across the front yard, each one with a different flowers planted in it!
squabbit, well, forget the urinal. I need a toilet with a hard drive bigger than my PC! And you're so right. Hubble? Waste of money. International Space station? Rip-off. Fuel cell vehicles? What a joke. Automated ass washer? Now you've got something. Where do I sign?
Seriously though, the biggest step back in technology mankind has ever faced are these damned low-flow toilets. What a fucking joke. You can't get more than a wad or two of toilet paper in them before they clog. We literally now have a plunger next to every toilet, and in addition, we probably use two or three times the amount of water per download than we ever did before, due to the now-required "wipe 'n flush" method, where one must wipe once then flush, wipe once then flush.
Asinine I say.
