Behold, the London-New York tunnel

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7415911.stm

:nutcase:

If you believe artist and inventor Paul St George then his "Telectroscope" connects New York and London via a (very) long tunnel running through the earth's crust, with the images bouncing back and forth using mirrors.

The other explanation is that it is all done by optical fibres - take your pick.

One end of the "tunnel" emerges next to Tower Bridge on the banks of the Thames in London - the other is next to Brooklyn Bridge on the banks of New York's East River.
I saw this on the news ages ago. It was quite interesting though, I think they've taken it down now.

"the New York crowd shout, and for a moment, two groups of strangers, in two cities thousands of miles apart, jump up and down and smile at one another."

A New York policeman stands in front with a message. A man at the other end writes something down.

"How's the band?"

"I'm with the NYPD, not the group The Police," the copper writes back.

English sarcasm clearly does not work down a tunnel.


Lulz.

I like that sort of art. It's nice how, even despite the world of webcams and **** like that, people can still find something like that intriguing.
