Did you hear about the London Millennium bridge? They call it the wobbly bridge. (I just put "the wobbly bridge" into Google. I was offered ten pages of hits!) It was designed by an architect (I ask you! Have they not heard of engineers??). He designed it to be new and exciting and *modern*. He deliberately designed it in a way that no bridge had ever been designed before. He found out why no bridge had ever been designed that way before, as soon as they opened it. It is a pedestrian bridge. As the first batch of people (a large batch, mind you) crossed it, it started to sway. Not an imperceptible amount. A pronounced sway, like a child's crib. They had to close it and put in struts. It is now functional, but not beautiful. Hopefully, next time London needs a bridge they will employ an engineer! Lisi
