From the London Design Festival 2006:
Bridge, by Michael Cross, is a series of steps that rise out of the water as you walk across them, as if walking on water. On entering the exhibition the visitor is met by an empty expanse of water with one step at its edge: stepping on to it forces it...
You mean this guy needs steps to walk on water? I bet he can't turn water into wine either. Ha, what a loser!
Thanks to the ridiculously good looking Duke for the tip.

They should replace the water with acid and then see if anyone would risk it.

Just like the Bog of Eternal Stench! Without the Bog of course. Or the Eternal Stench. Or Bowie's bleached bangs. But otherwise exactly the same.

I can't remember where I read about this, but the coolest part is that it's fully mechanical -- your weight on that first step actually leverages the next step out of the water.

I'll take two! I'll put them somewhere in the back of my vast chateau.

I wonder how deep the water actually is.

I wish the water was acid. Not the disolve you kind, the funner kind.

GuySmiley would like to walk 1/2 way across the bridge then take a poop.

I say we play a game of quarters. I can only drink vodka then walk on water. Who's in?

This is so awesome. What a cool design. Unfortunately this doesn't go with the layout of my house. It's probably kind of expensive to get installed.
