Irishmen in Perth recreate iconic New York City ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper’ photo

forester, how long did it take you to write that drivel.

Yep, merefalow, American Native Indians and Irishmen were noted for having no fear of heights, which is why so many of them were employed in building skyscraper buildings in America. As for me, a Native Irishman … I had no fear of heights either until I nearly slid off the roof of my old mammie & daddie’s single storey house in Dublin. You won’t ever find me on that ‘glass’ platform at the USA's Grand Canyon.

scary stuff,realy brave guys all of them,i think i read somewhere that a majority of construction workers were native americans.

It's a well known fact that if someone starts falling off one of these steel beams; the first thing they do is try and grab the person next to them hoping by doing so that they can stop them falling to their certain deaths. It should be made law that no skyscraper can be more than 20 foot high measured from the ground, that no Irish citizen should ever work on one or be engaged on a skyscraper building site, and everyone knows even looking at one being built will bring on 7 years bad luck and depression. How dangerous are they - Well, lets put it this way Leprecauns, Elves, and Cats avoid them, So follow their example and work underground instead.
