Which side of the criminally insane, pure genius dividing line, this creation site is not clear. Basically you face (and pedal, amazingly) at right angles to the direction in which you move. added on 2008-03-26

The concept of a massive structure to house the same thing that is is surrounded by - water, is what makes the irony of floating swimming polls so delicious. added on 2008-03-26

floating swimming pool...
By: Ubik
This is one of my favorite finds ever, for Oobject.

The R/P FLIP (Floating Instrument Platform), nicknamed the Flip ship is designed to partially sink so that it tips vertically and half submerges, with bulkheads becoming floors.

The platform houses instrumentation for monitoring weather data etc.

incredibly, this thing is not one of those weird pieces of defunct engineering from the first half of the 20th Century. It is still in operation after a $2M renovation in 1995. added on 2008-03-26
