Ice Castles
I've heard of ice hotels and such. Right now in Las Vegas (not the one in New Mexico) they've built an ice bar in a huge freezer warehouse where you can buy tickets for 30 minutes that include a free drink (in a bowl of ice, natch') and rental of furs to keep you warm. This article talks about a company who uses CNC milling equipment to pre-fab such things and ships them around the world.
Some interesting bits, such as an ice hotel in Alaska that had to close and reopen as a museum when a building inspector decided it needed sprinklers. Yeah, it's a tragedy how many people die every year in ice hotel fires.
Yes, I am a geek. I think this is pretty cool, no pun intended. Maybe.
