Questions I still can't answer......
Feb. 5th, 2005 09:38 pmI asked this question before, and didn't get any answers.
In the Empire State Building in New York City, there are observation decks on the 86th and 102nd floors. (Thanks to 9/11, the 102nd floor observation deck is now closed to the general public.) My question is: what is on floors 87 thru 101? Anything (besides FM and TV antennae)? Are these real floors or just stairway landings?
(Yes, I know that at one point in history, the building was to be used as a landing point for dirigibles. But high winds prevented that idea from becoming a reality, well before the Hindenburg disaster ended passenger travel by airship.)
Any ideas?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

And here's one I could find the answer to. For some time, I've been wondering what a "Pierson's Puppeteer" was.tarkrai sang about them in one of his songs. Once I found the lyrics, and the correct spelling, I sent Googling. I found a definition based on a Wikipedia entry. It's a two-headed creature from Larry Niven's "Known Space" story/novel series. (Yes, I'm behind on my SF reading.)
