Don’t fall!

What floor are you on, Zack?
QUINN-
So far, so good.
BASEBALL FAN-
8th.
If someone dropped a baseball down from the ninth floor… would you jump after it?
Certifiable behaviour Zack. Snagging baseballs lost its edge ?
I am very afraid of heights. I find this picture assinine. Please close the window.
Awesome. Next time you in Toronto the Edge walk on the CN Tower is awesome. By the way, your view is awesome .
Give me snakes and spiders any day
Who the heck installs windows that open like that on the 8th floor? Bad planning.
Easy sucide jump for someone….bad design.
-Quinn
TIM ANDERSON-
Only if were Derek Jeter’s 4,000th hit.
RAY BURTON-
Screw you *and* your snakes and spiders. :-)
LEIGH BARRATT-
Bah, no big deal. It’s not like I was dangling over the edge doing pull-ups. (Hmm, I wonder if that’s possible.)
PLANEDRIVER-
I was at the CN Tower last year and went up to the top and stood on that little glass-floor thingie that lets you look straight down. But that was it.
COOK & SON BATS-
A genius interior decorator who doesn’t have kids or pets. (No joke. That IS, in fact, who designed them and had them installed in the 1980s.)
QUINN-
I like the design. So there.
Content travels in funny ways. This particular picture came to me as I was writing you an e-mail–which has since been sent–in that a friend came into my room saying, “Dude, Zack Hample’s on the second page of Reddit.” He then proceeded to show me the picture and whaddaya know, there was a new blog entry up too.

WHAT IF….there was an earthquake right when you were doing this? WHAT IF….air was suctioned out of your window. Too many what if’s for me. Please close the window.
Dude how can you afford that huge apt in NYC by yourself?
What is everyone so freaked out about? Imagine if they opened the other way. He’d have to hire someone to clean them. Our windows in the Bronx were regular up and down split in the middle and my Mom would sit on the sill with her little butt hanging over the edge to clean them. This design is far superior, except, as pointed out above, if there were small children or jumpy pets living there. On the other hand, the gene pool is getting a bit muddy, so small kids would be OK too. (J/K)
Ha! Muddy gene pool! Nice one! No lifeguard on duty either!
Hey, you have a Mariners ad on your site today. Does that change regionally?
You would think getting a couple of baseballs dropped on you would teach you the power of gravity, but apparently not. I guess I’ll have to drop a few more to get my point across…..
MATEO-
Nice. Yeah . . . I decided to bombard the internet with this photo. In addition to posting it here and on Reddit, I added it to the “photos” page on my site, and I also tweeted it.
LEIGH BARRATT-
What if you just need to get over it?
SAD PIRATES FAN-
I’d tell you, but then I’d have to . . . “My, what big windows you have!”
LIZ MERRY-
Ha! Nice.
KSLO69-
It must. I’ve seen no Mariners ads here.
MIKE-
Yes, please.
I would leave them dirty.
