Yes, there are some small windows at the very top. You are fully enclosed but still.....

I'd do it.

What I wouldn't do was what Mike Rowe did in an episode of Dirty Jobs. He was cleaning windows on a skyscraper, but to reach his seat to rappel down he had to hang over the edge with NO safety what so ever.

I'd do it. You don't get to do stuff like that every day.

No, but there are a few people I'd like to throw off from the top of the Arch, or any tall building for that matter.

I recommend crop dusting with bleach.

I'm air assault trained and wouldn't rappel over 700 ft. I still find it amazing nobody was killed putting it up. It went up about the same time Busch Stadium was being built.

I wonder what the worst phobia would be (excluding Mr. Phobia, of course)? To have, I mean.

It wouldn't be heights because you can avoid them. Spiders can be handled with an exterminator and a shoe. Maybe claustrophobia because it's difficult to stay out of enclosed spaces like elevators or stairwells. Or maybe the one where you're scared to go outside. Or the one where you are afraid to take a pee.

That would be bad, no doubt, Mr. jd1020. But you could always wear earplugs.

That fear of sleeping thing might be pretty damn irritating.

I think it's probably that one where you're afraid to get out of your recliner and your skin melds with the fabric because you won't get out of the recliner. That's the worst one, I think. Who pays your bills then? And why wouldn't that person just carry you in your recliner out and drop you on a busy highway?

The government, I suppose. Unless you had Obamaphobia.
