Yes, a shorter bridge is far more impressive.
Yes Gribbler, it is...
First major steel cantilever (still 2nd longest in the world!) railway bridge in the world and first railway bridge with a steel superstructure. Also was the world’s longest spanning bridge at the time of its construction. Way more impressive looking than the GGB!
So, in the space of 47 years, the Golden Gate bridge could only manage a measly extra 685ft!?

Oerdin, I'm curious as to what kind of food you can get at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Yeah, what a bunch of idiots! Why didn't they just widen the San Francisco Bay so that the Golden Gate Bridge could beat the previous record by more!So, in the space of 47 years, the Golden Gate bridge could only manage a measly extra 685ft!?

Funny, when it says 'forth bridge scotland' in the search box and virtually every picture is of the bridge in question - I take it you don't know the difference between 'Cantilever' and 'Suspension'...?Your Google link was the forth road bridge, not the forth bridge, illiterate.
And you call me illiterate?

I'm just saying that one was cutting edge and worthy of greatness, considering it was built in the 19th century, whereas the other was relatively modest in comparison...

What the hell are you talking about? It says "forth road bridge" in the url of the link you provided and in the search box and almost all of the pictures are of a suspension bridge you ****ing liar. Then in post #32 you started prattling on about a cantilever bridge as if that was the bridge you linked to. God you are so stupid.Funny, when it says 'forth bridge scotland' in the search box and virtually every picture is of the bridge in question - I take it you don't know the difference between 'Cantilever' and 'Suspension'...?

Why did you link to pictures of a suspension bridge from the 1960s then you dribbling retard?

You need your eyesight tested! Definitely says 'forth bridge scotland' in the search box in the link I provided - I should know as I typed it in! If that search calls up a url with the word 'road' in it, ***** to google and not me - certainly don't call me a ****ing liar because of it!
As for the difference between cantilever and suspension bridges, here is a graphical representation for your education!
Cantilever
Suspension
Yes, obviously I predicted you would act like a dumbass before you even knew it yourself.Then in post #32 you started prattling on about a cantilever bridge as if that was the bridge you linked to. God you are so stupid.
Oh wait, you're too dumb to realise you've been pwned before and after the event!

A "graphical representation", you lying twit:
MOBIUS is a sad, sad little man.
Yep, that is my link and it links to what I say it does here in the UK...
Hey, tell you what, instead of being a douche and calling me a liar, why not have some imagination and consider the alternative explanation that perhaps it gets 'lost in translation' between accessing the link from the UK and US sides of Google...? Clearly it would explain why "in post #32 I started prattling on about a cantilever bridge".
"History is a lie that has been honed like a weapon by people who have suppressed the truth. Centuries from now, your own history will also be suppressed."
It wouldn't surprise me if the UK Google was lying, because the UK is full of LIARS like MOBIUS.
This thread is a testament to the pathetic sadness of once upon time greatness totally trashed by the incompetence of following generations.

Sadly, nothing but on Treasure Island, which has one of the best views of the bridge, the city, and the headlands there is a great little cafe which has some extremely inventive sandwiches which are to die for. Just FYI.
Well, Technically it's on Yerba Buena Island right by the picnic area but ever since they built the land bridge the two islands have really been one island.

Take your chill pills gribs...
As I said, there was a perfectly reasonable explanation to your claims (because I have decided to believe you), but if you want to be a dick about it, go right ahead because I don't need to lie to put you in your place...
In fact, I don't need to do anything at all apparently...
