I’m just saying this because it’s Monday. Last I heard there were going to be attempts to recover the body but it would take several days for the metal to cool for them to try it.

The kicker is that there was no way to stop the molten steel and so the guy was buried in liquid metal. It was a long fall, so some believe the fall alone may have killed him. He fell into a pit as this giant bucket was about to pour the steel. I read a story last week about a man working at a place that was pouring molten steel. I am particularly advocating protests from the likes of Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth, and that red-headed cutie Kari from the Discovery Channel show “Mythbusters.” I would like to promote more nude protests, just for the record. Wasn’t that seat very uncomfortable with a naked behind on top of it? Why do these things never happen where I can see them? Apparently this was some kind of protest against the world’s dependency on oil.Ĭouple of questions come to mind. What happens if the collapsible stadium collapses a bit too early?Ī bunch of people all around the world, including here in Chicago, rode their bicycles naked. Somehow all of this temporary stuff just seems too risky. These seats would then be removed once the games were over. Won’t it look great in the living room?”Īnother proposal is to build additional, but temporary, seating at Soldier Field. I have no idea who would buy them or what they would do with them. Some kind of stadium that could be built and then, after the games, torn down and the pieces sold off. One proposal is to build something called a “collapsible” stadium between Solider Field and McCormick Place convention center. This does not even take into account all of the construction that will have to happen before the games can even begin. Traffic in this town is bad enough on a regular day, now imagine a billion additional people in town. Sounds cool until you realize was a colossal pain in the ass that is going to be. I wonder if there will be a parade? Will anyone go? Do Arena football players get rings? Will the super-fans show up for the rally?Ĭhicago is making a bid to get the 2016 Summer Olympics. Plus, Mike Ditka has some partial ownership of the team so twenty years after the Bears won their whole thing he gets to be part of another championship team.


I really want to be able to make fun of that, but I have to admit, I kind of like Arena Football and it’s just cool to have a champion of anything in any sport in this town. The Chicago Rush Arena Football team won the championship in Arena Bowl XX yesterday. So, here are some random thoughts about things going on around the world, and in Chicago.

Too much going on and none of it inspiring enough to constitute a whole column. I appear to be too scattered these days to come up with one cohesive column.
