It had nothing to do with the color of the slab. Imagine something like
the
monolith in 2001. Now imagine it tipping over for god knows what reason
(regardless of it being bolted in to the floor) and falling on someone.

Well, I obviously didn't think it was a problem, since that's the way I
designed it. It was my teacher who went off in that direction. I also
don't think that all attorneys are ambulance chasers, I myself have a
few
lawyers in my family. Anything I said certainly wasn't directed at you
personaly,
I don't even know you. But I do think that there are individuals (just
like
in any business) that give the rest of the profession a bad reputation.
I'd love to see the good lawyers jump on them.
