Well why not some disc sports? Check out our great leader's recent web press release: http://millennium.greenwich2000.com/millennium/news/news22.htm Of particular concern: "A restful landscape of smooth pebble-shapes strewn across the floor of the Dome," "...If they don't want the lift, they can abseil or slide down, or wear 'Spiderman' suits that stick to the walls and climb down." "...This will consist of a sitting human figure taller than the Statue of Liberty....It is said that the statue will be covered with photographs of children; maybe as many as a million of them.
