I think it's enough that it's not on the stereo. Guy looks in window, sees aftermarket stereo, doesn't realize it's a hundred-dollar piece of chinese crap with the resale value of a Rob Liefeld comic-book... the fact that an aftermarket stereo is in there is enough reason to break in.

Removing the face = dude looking in the window sees no value in break-in because face is missing.

I'd never buy a stereo that was worth more than the smashed window anyways. I'm just that cheap. In one building I lived, I just stopped locking the door after the second break-in, and didn't keep anything in there.

People hardly think of cellphones. People don't think at all, much less when you walk around taking photos of the party and then someone pushes you into the pool. Lost a cellphone, a not-so-waterproof clock and a digital camera.

This is why they should start building technology that is more durable. Waterproof as standard. Like watches, they are almost always waterproof.

They do make waterproof cellphones. Well, not Apple, but other manufacturers do. I saw a store display yesterday which was a working cellphone submerged in a bucket of water.

Saw this a few years ago in the Aqua Magazine. The original builder created it so his elederly mother could have the pool essentially come to her, instead of having to use any stairs to get in. Pretty amazing concept, they also have designs so you can have a center "swim up" bar raise up from the bottom of the pool.

You should watch the Human Centipede then. The main antagonist makes use of his.

As a matter of fact, make it your movie for Valentine's Day. It's kind of a chick flick in that heart warming romantic comedy sort of way, but if you're a dude you'll like it too (and just between you and me, there's a scene where a naked chick is in the doggy position while another girl eats her ass; Patrick Bateman gives it two thumbs up).

Oh god. I want to lie naked on the floor while that thing goes down. Don't know why. But I want to.

Very cool. But you have to resist the temptation to give a speech about how crime has not reached the same heights as other human endeavors just before throwing the switch.

Found a video of this thing in action (or what looks like slow-motion).

Unfortunately it's not in slow motion. It really is that slow. It would be awesome if it could be as fast as I imagined in my head.

These are common amongst Baptist Churches that want to hold on-stage adult baptismals.

They're actually very practical.

I stared at that for a good 30 seconds until I realized that the floor is actually being lowered to the bottom of the pool, and not just slowly vanishing.

This reminds me of the wild self-reconfiguration that some Quake levels do. Push a button and suddenly a nearby floor slides away to reveal a pool, or sinks into an indentation and a pool forms above it. Never thought I'd see such a thing in real life.

Hopefully the real-life implementation does not involve Scrags or other such Lovecraftian horrors, haha.

wouldn't you have to clean the floor every time you used the pool? or would using the pool clean the floor?

Put a drunk in the middle. Sink the floor.

Have some friends over to stay the night, and have a air mattress in the middle of the pools cover. Once they're asleep hit the switch and watch as you accidentally the whole floor and they start to float around, as it seems it lowers slow enough as not to notice the transition from floor to floating!

Suddenly, sharks.

When I was little I had a huge fear of sharks and even if I was in a pool I would always think that a shark would pull me under like the stupid sexy lady from Jaws.

See, the picture makes it look like the floor magically turns into water. After watching the video, sadly, it is not so.

I still want one, though.

Nothing says "I have a shit-ton of money" like having a ballroom that doubles as a pool. Sure, you could have a regular pool, but then you wouldn't get to show off.

[–]redditwithafork 1 point2 points ago

Meh, looks like WAY too much to go wrong. There's NO way that could provide years of trouble free service. My guess is the pool owners eventually regret spending the money and not being able to swim in their pool while they're getting this thing repaired.
