Like a smallish geodesic ball/dome sort of thing. How about one for the dog?

A bit cramped for me -but maybe ---  if I layed off the cabbage.  Wonder if the windows open  :-?

After the cabbage...I hope they do for Sassy's sake.  
Wonder if Gore has one for the coming floods...

I think it would be a very good thing to get a whole fleet of these, then send our politicians all out to sea in them on a trial safety run.  Maybe we could deploy them in the Persian gulf.

First, I have to apologize for the extended thread drift, but I have grave concerns for the safety of Sassy and others.

Glenn, have you performed proper flammability studies to ensure that you are not an explosion hazard if in the vicinity of any open flames after Sassy has cooked you a great plate full of cabbage?

Sorry to say Don, but yes, I once flicked my Bic and nearly set my pants on fire...  (OK ok -- so more than once... crimoney - lets not be a stickler for details. ).  

There is no question as to the danger of explosion, or flammability and studying the design of these soccer ball shaped houses I fear there is much danger of damage from shrapnel in the event of an internal explosion.

Note the similarity of design

LOL!!    ROF!!     [smiley=laugh.gif]

Large numbers of politicians adrift (far) at sea in small geodesic spheres.

FINALLY a use of tax dollars I can support.  After buying all those spheres I doubt there would be any money left for provisions

For that purpose I would gladly pay extra tax --- for more spheres - not food.
