While the logical solution would be to build a bridge, not at Google. No, they built a zip line. The insurance this company has must be igreat/i./p pUnfortunately, the city of Mountain View didn't like the idea as much as those crazy Googlers. When the folks responsible for building the zip line (as well as a really rickety looking beam of a "bridge") came back from a weekend, both were gone. The iman/i is always trying to keep those who work for a gigantic corporation down!/p pI'd build a zip line in my office, but there's not enough of a slope between my bedroom and kitchen.
