The Vertiginous Girder Restaurant, comes in the form of a substantial "I" or "T" beam, encased in a room sized box of unbreakable glass, which is open at one end.
To install it, you simply bolt it unto the outside face of any building of suitable height, and cut an access hole to enable the hungry, but foolhardy patrons to shuffle out along its stomach churning length, in order to eat their sandwiches. see link for image of one already in situ-- xenzag, Sep 14 2007 Lunchtime atop a skyscraper http://en.wikipedia...e_atop_a_SkyscraperIt's by Charles C.

It's a particular delicacy at this establishment.-- xenzag, Sep 14 2007 Pictures like that could easily prompt an HB Caption Competition. Beware.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 14 2007 Or install over handy nearby Grand Canyon.
But the glass spoils it, methinks.-- DrCurry, Sep 14 2007 I like that picture; I've seen it before and wonder if it's for real. It seems so high.-- bnip, Sep 14 2007 I think it was commissioned by the Pikatawnee Arse Glue Company in about 1932.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 14 2007 Well, you got the year right (link)-- normzone, Sep 14 2007 Now this is a lovely idea. Big precariously placed bun.-- theleopard, Sep 15 2007 [xenzag], you're on a roll. [+]-- pertinax, Sep 15 2007 I always thought this was one my ideas that somebody would use and now they have.
