I'd push every floor's button just before stepping off it

Take a parachute & jump off the observation deck

Probably crap my pants.

Duh, sex.

Get to the top and start a TFD thread asking for cat pictures.

Seth_The_Wide: Duh, sex.

So what would you do with the other 23 minutes of the 25 minute ride to the top?

I'd ask what floor housewares was on.

bone

no questions were begged...

Take the stairs -- I hate elevators.

I beg of submitter to stop raping "begging the question"

Moon the earth.

Dude! i totally wrote a report on how this would happen when i was in elementary school. i need to dig that up, so i can prove my psychic ability!

I'd activate my car's wings and I'd fly away. Because that's about as possible as a space elevator.

"This is supposed to be an express elevator to hell -- goin' down!!"

Pee in the corner.

1) Meeting at Microsoft
2) Bunch of lawyers
3) Discussing insurance issues

None of this gives me great confidence that this is going to happen in the next 25 years.

Not another god damn "begging the question" thread.

the only serious problem is that it would have to be built out in the middle of the ocean just in case it somehow fell over. otherwise, if we have the technology and the know how, why not build it. it's an old idea, it'd be cool if it were to become a reality.

bungie jump

Listen to relaxing Muzak.

Two chicks at the same time.

Ironic, isn't it?

25 years from now? Well, the world's last smoking area would probably be at the top.

Drop a peppy

Water balloons

Wow. Microsoft. Nice.

Now, what to do when you get a blue error screen about three-quarters of the way up and free-fall back down?

get stoned. in space. then go back down.

Wulfhardt: 25 years from now? Well, the world's last smoking area would probably be at the top.

We can only hope.

Use it as a stripper pole?

Space elevator, like CIV 4 world wonder space elvator?

Sweet, a bonus to space race production and next thing we get is a trip to alpha centari!

I'm begging the question at this very moment, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

But will it have skyhooks?

/better not be too obscure

At the top, I would beg the question.

Lumber Jack Off the only serious problem is that it would have to be built out in the middle of the ocean just in case it somehow fell over.

Wouldn't it be longer than the circumference of the Earth? In which case it doesn't really matter where you put it.

RoyBatty: itastelikechicken: Not another god damn "begging the question" thread.

Ironic, isn't it?

I hate you. *chortle* :P

/*snicker*

Fart and then blame it on the other guy.

Since when does "begging the question" mean "raising the question"?

$50 says that Submitter hangs out in Starbucks cafes and awkwardly hits on women in book stores.

Shop at the duty-free.

CANNNNNNONBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Hang glide down, with an O² tank and pressure suit.

Or read a certain Ray Bradbury short story and get paranoid about meteors.

/not obscure, but I can't remember the name of it. Someone help a Farker out?

It Raises the question, subby. It does NOT beg the question.

Begging the question is a logical fallacy in which the validity of the proposition to be proved is assumed in one of the premises.

Raising the question refers to a situation in which an observation inspires further speculation.

Example:
"The space elevator will be completed in 25 years. What you would do if you could ride it?"
This is "raising the question."

"The space elevator is the most efficient way to get into orbit, because all other methods of getting into orbit are less efficient."
That is "begging the question."

/No you can't have an A in logic 101. Not yours.

not going to happen EVER. the engineering and materials necessary to make this feasible in any way would make more conventional propulsion cheaper, quicker, safer anyways not to mention the complete change to society as 5000 story buildings become popular. Secondly, the danger posed by such a contraption would be immense. A simple platform that we let a shuttle launch from is literally under lock and key 24/7 much less the base of a cable that rises into the stratosphere. What about testing? It's basically untestable. Having worked in software, where simple tasks drag on for 2-500 times as long as originally estimated or things breaking with no understanding why (in a near-finite system no less), you get 0 chance of this every happening.

YoungSwedishBlonde: Fart and then blame it on the other guy.

THIS

Hock one off the top.

Save energy: Take the stairway to heaven instead.

My best Steven Tyler impression.

Masturbate inside and then see if the ejaculate would form floating balls of sexuality.

Lots of Led Zeppelin.
