Hi I thought about the bridges, which type of them is the most astonishing? For me, this are Suspension Bridges. What do you thing?

I think the Suspension of Disbelief Bridge between the audience and a bad director is a critical thing. Otherwise it's not worth the 9 bucks.

I've heard of Lloyd, Jeff and Beau but never knew there was a Suspension too. Does he act also?

He's a director - see above. :)

Born in Berne, Switzerland, future structural engineering visionary Robert Malliart earned a degree in civil engineering from the Federal Polytechnical Institute in Zurich in 1894. Malliart established his own design-construction company in 1902 and moved the firm to Russia in 1912, only to see it fail during the Russian Revolution five years later. In a two-year span before the move to Russia, Malliart entered five major bridge competitions, although judging bodies typically preferred bridges more conventional than young Malliart=92s. Regardless of the design competitions, continued innovative bridge designs produced notoriety for him. T

I don't care what kind they are, as long as it has tons and tons of rebar in it, and I am the one with the contract.

It's not only geometric and mechanical, it's also dynamic and maybe even a little sexy when it opens (as though you excited it) and as it sticks up and is not yet fully down. ;)

In countryside settings, I also love old stone arch bridges, as well as covered ones.

I wonder what's up with Rico today. ;)

I likes this'n. Bet nobody ever heard of it.

I have no idea in the world how that happened.

I'll bet she'd rather not have any need for a bridge at all.

In Ottawa in the summer, I would sometimes better enjoy my lunches by sitting on the edge of the downtown Rideau Canal's bridge's concrete railing and dangle my feet over the water.

Actually I was originally thinking of some musical reference but decided it was too hard and I didn't know enough to do it. You know, something like "I liked the bridge between the first two songs that Springsteen did during the superbowl".
