[Untelligent]

Should've hired dwarves to build it. It might menace with spikes of magma, fling every 37th traveler to the stingray-infested water, or atom-smash anyone who tried to bring a cat over it, but at least it would get you to the other side.


That ground to the left is pretty damn weird, too. Except for a small area next to the bridge, those aren't the tops of walls. Just floors with nothing below them but grass and trees. Also there's a cavern entrance in the bit where the only walls are. Also when I un-traveled to this area I was caught in a burst of loamy sand, and then magma. This place confuses me.

Have you seen the bridge that was built underwater by some people? That was literally take two steps forward and then plunge into the water and swim to the otherside.

It's not just humans. I have these "bridges to nowhere" all over, mostly next to roads for some reason, including at least one mountain hall.

[Kobold Troubadour]

Well...it's possible they kept getting distracted by random animals & beasts & kept on cancelling the job to run to their homes all through out world-gen for all we know.

...Or maybe the bridge maker kept chasing buzzards that he eventually got out of the "town border" & wound up lost, too stupid to walk just a bit back the same direction he came from.

[Max White]

Who said it was a bridge?
I assumed they were going to put a plump helmet on the end of a fishing rod and try to catch a buzzard.

Bridges are bugged, I think.

They just make these wierd diving board shaped roads into the sky.

Maybe it's nice to 'cannonball' on it and splash into the warm soil. 

[StreetPizza]

Wait, wait! I got it! Maybe Toady intentionally left this in to make a political statement!

[h3lblad3]

...the bridge to nowhere...

[Victuz]

I'm pretty sure there are double rainbows over bridges to nowhere.

[castun]

I'm pretty sure there are double rainbows over bridges to nowhere.

All across the sky?

[thijser]

No it's a new strategy to deal with eagles! They are trying to drop a bridge on top of them!

[NightmareBros]

They are trying to drop a bridge on top of them!

Damn, that's clever. Why didn't I think of that to get rid of the resident giant zombie eagle population?

I guess it's because the eagles generally get smashed into the ground at the speed of light thanks to atomsmasher mechanics. Horrible mess, apparantly - not nearly as clean as a bridge simply built over a pit on the ground.
