Here's the long-awaited follow up in the GNP (Good News Post) series. Time to turn that frown upside-down folks!

In this episode, I thought to bring some attention to the most amazing bridge in the world:



If you go here, you can see more pics of the bridge, some even showing it during the building process. Simply stunning how extreme the engineering feats of man have become! And if that doesn't make you say Subhan'Allah, then I guess...I guess you just don't like bridges...or clouds...or bridges in clouds. :-P

So how does this qualify for a GNP for Muslims? Good question. Well, I figured since it was built in France and isn't Zinedine Zidane the great Muslim soccer player also from France? So we got sort of a connection there, right? Ok, maybe that's really stretching it. How about the fact that in order to build the bridge, the architects had to use Algebra and we all know that Algebra is a Muslim invention. Fine, just forget it...(throwing my hands up)...I tried.

Also for some nice panoramic pics of the bridge, check out its Wikipedia entry.

Glory and Praise be to the One who gave man the capacity to build such breathtaking beauties!

GNP Bonus: Speaking of Wikipedia and Zinedine, check out his entry. You can scroll down and see the continuous replay of his headbutting. Just Awesome! *That's* the Good News for this Post....Let us rejoice at our Salahuddin of the 21st century overcoming his crusader opponent on the soccer field! Or maybe its a case of another angry Muslim venting his frustrations in an extremely uncalled for manner? I'll choose the former since this is supposed to be a GNP. Yeah, let's turn that frown upside-down!
