- Scooley01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14When I saw the picture looking from the crosswalk, into the open sphere, all I could think of was that it was something out of Myst...
- Donerkebab, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I bet they're swingers.
- eaasness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10$150,000 and no crapper.
- jsd8cc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That's really cool. The spherical design belies the space provided inside.
- Anubis2051, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10HOLY COW! That is one hell of a fancy tree house!
- wordsofwisedumb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9And you still have to buy the tree to put it in.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6i want my tree house to resemble the Death Star too!!
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah. I name my computers. It's a lot easier saying "Dell" than "my main desktop computer".
Plus, it's fun! :P - adamchristopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I suddenly have the urge to go play Myst.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So basically a downpayment for a new house is the cost of this thing...
- ericmoritz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's got a crapper you stick your butt out the door
- zoologist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm guessing they're going with the sailboat theme. That is, they've likened the process of building this tree house to that of building a boat. Boats have names, therefore their tree house has a name.
- Parisi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Prices from $150,000 US !
Holly cow, now that's steep! - jcapogna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kinda cramped for the price.
- Massif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Channelwood FTW!
I wish there were whole cities like this. - airmann90, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Dear God, this isn't THAT old. It was on the Discovery Channel (Daily Planet, in Canada) like 2 years ago. Does that constitute as old?
- WeeklyGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2WEIRD!
Also, cool. - dlbundo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yea- a bit steep for a tree house
- groo68, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Its not weird, they want to personalize it, they like owning it. People have named things for thousands of years, basing them on religions down to a calm memory, or something your proud of.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The motion in a sphere is abrupt when another body inside shifts his weight, because the mass of the sphere is low. When you are settled in and the wind blows it results in a slow gentle rocking motion.
sounds like the sphere of fear..
But does look way cooler than thought inside. - GLSmyth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How can something be "most" unique?
- dlbundo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Where's the potty? (on the ground I'm sure)
- Alex2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wide angle lens used for photography. Actually cramped inside.
- speedemonspecv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes I saw this on the Science Channel (I am aware that I sound like an uber-geek) like a year ago. That episode of Beyond Tommorrow still airs sometimes.
- Draje, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All I have to say is that I WANT ONE. That is freaking awesome. I've never seen a tree house like this. I wonder if you connect a few together and live in it?
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wtf mate. That's one swank treehouse.
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Thats not weird at all. I named my computer main computer daedalus and my other one lucy.
- amphora, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You can get an empty fiberglass shell for under $10,000
- returnofmalv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Simply fantastic.
- jamesthejust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I personally wouldn't want a toilet in there! Looks cool though, maybe we should go back to the trees.
- groo68, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, it cost more than my house and its smaller than my room, which only fits my bed and computer.(the house isnt very small just the room.)
- fatlip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i'm disappointed.. i was expecting ewoks
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think its targeted toward rich kids.
- Greenline, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2awesome
- blueyedsis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, though I enjoyed the speculation immensely, I believe they are named so that they can be referred to as a model... the Eryn model, the Eve model etc. Much like you would find in any home builder catalog.
- lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Has anything important changed since it was posted last time?

I dugg it then. And that was only 2 weeks after I saw it on TV here too.
You might be able to read through the comments/links posted last time this was submitted. - mjordan4343, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1clever
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That would be amazing. Each sphere could be its own room.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2this isnt retarted in any way shape or form...
- hawke185185, on 08/02/2008, -0/+0So dissapointed, this is so much better.
http://www.boatsmotormount.cn - warfang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Really old, but still a goody. It'd be sweet but unpractical to have one of those. It's one of those things to one-up-your friends.
friend: "I just got a huge high-def tele."
you: "Well look at THAT, you just can't beat it." :) - skamper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like the size of my dorm room.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2150 thousand ***** dollars? that's a little over half the cost of my house!
Just get a big rubber ball and make it hard with liquid nitrogen. cut door. insert couch. You just saved a bunch of money. - VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I love trees, but I wonder how safe this all is.
- Gimpindo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Thats Friggin Rad its like the fuggin ewoks
- MrKlaatu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Well, obviously it's a TARDIS.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Does it have indoor plumbing? NO. It's called a house. GET ONE. And while you're at it, get a life too.
Sorry, I'm listening to Nickelback. - munkey906, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0sweetness!
- Metatron197, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Hey thats mine!
- strangeguitar, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Ok... why do people give names to inanimate objects? That's weird.
