~:C.C.4.U:~ Strangest Bridges Around the World

These bridges are located in Amsterdam and were made by Naomi. Three unusual red steel bridges extend over the water between the islands Sporenburg and Borneo.

Two of these three bridges stretch for 90m and the 3d one is 25 meters long. The pedestrian bridge is the most unusual one.

Deep inside Russian countryside there is a place with a strange object. It's made solely of wood and is called "The Half-Bridge of Hope".

It looks like a wooden bridge from one side of hill to another which suddenly finishes on its half. It has no any logical meaning or practical purpose, just stands in one of numerous Russian villages as an art object, made of wood as everything other around it.

Do they have a strange bridge here! Blocks of concrete are lowered to get the bridge open.

The Dutch have a tendency to do things differently. The Slauerhoffbrug, located in Leeuwarden, was designed by Van Driel Mechatronica to be a fully automatic bridge with an ability to sense and adapt to its surroundings.

The Pegasusbrug near Ouistreham in France, which was a stepping stone for tail bridges, is a limited turntable bascule bridge.

The William Pont Bridge in Zaanstad, created by Van Driel Mechatronica BV, inspired the design of the Slauerhoffbrug.

The Bridge of Aspiration between the Royal Ballet School and the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. By Wilkinson Eyre Architects, it provides the dancers of the Royal Ballet School with a direct link to the Grade 1 listed Royal Opera House

This is an old and kind of strange bridge connecting the Mining Building at the University of Toronto to whatever that building is behind it.

~:C.C.4.U:~ If God should go on strike

"IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE"

How is it that God above
Has never gone on strike
Because he was not treated fair
In things He didn't like.

If only once He'd given up,
And said, 'That's it, I'm through!
I've had enough of those on earth,
So this is what I'll do;

I'll give my orders to the sun -
'Cut off the heat supply!'
And to the moon - 'Give no more
Light, and run the ocean dry.'

Then just to make things really tough
And put the pressures on,
'Turn off the vital oxygen
Till every breath is gone!'

You know, He would be justified
If fairness was the game.
For no one has been abused
Or met with more disdain

Than God, any yet He carries on
Supplying you and me
With all the favors of His grace
And everything for free.

Men say they want a better deal
And so on strike they go.
But what a deal we've given
To God to whom all things we owe.

We don't care whom we hurt
To gain the things we like.
But what a mess we'd all be in
If God should go on strike!!

~:C.C.4.U:~ A concerned Father

Touching!! What comes to mind is another short story.

Bear, read it:

A father walking with his son, on a tricky path told him,'Son, hold my hand.'

The child replied,' No papa, you hold my hand! In fear I may let go of your hand, but I know for sure, that you will NEVER let go of mine; I am safer that way.'

A popular father's day message "A father's promise" ..

In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened Armenia, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.

In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.

After the traumatic initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of debris that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.

He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the rubble.

As he was digging, other forlorn parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off of what was left of the school saying:

"It's too late!"
"They're dead!"
"You can't help!"
"Go home!"
"Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!"
"You're just going to make things worse!"

To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?" And then he proceeded to dig for his son, stone by stone.

The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off of the school's debris, saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." To which this loving, caring Armenian father asked, "Are you going to help me now?"

The police came and said, "You're angry, distraught and it's over. You're endangering others. Go home. We'll handle it!" To which he replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.

Courageously he proceeded alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?"

He dug for eight hours . . . 12 hours . . . 24 hours ... 36 hours . . . then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a boulder and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "ARMAND!" He heard back, "Dad!?! It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told 'em that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, 'No matter what, I'll always be there for you!' You did it, Dad! . . . "

"What's going on in there? How is it?" the father asked.

There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building collapsed, it made a wedge, like a triangle, and it saved us."

"Come on out, boy!"

"No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, 'cause I know you'll get me! No matter what, I know you'll be there for me!"

~:C.C.4.U:~ KNOWING THE TRUTH

Truth Telling Transfer Agreement Exposes Hitler as Father of Israel!!!
Is Adolf Hitler Really the Founding Father of Israel ?
By Johnny Punish, Friday, June 17th, 2011
In The Transfer Agreement, Edwin Black's compelling award-winning
story of a negotiated arrangement in 1933 between Zionist

organizations and the Nazis to transfer some 50,000 Jews, and

$100 million of their assets to Jewish Palestine in exchange for

stopping the worldwide Jewish-led boycott threatening to topple

the Hitler regime in its first year, exposes historical truth.

~:C.C.4.U:~ The Pastor's New Dentures

The New Dentures

A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth.

The first Sunday after he gets his teeth, he talks for only eight minutes.

The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes.

The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened.

The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes.

The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes.

But, the third Sunday, by mistake he put his wife's teeth in and couldn't shut up...
