It’s Just Cool: A Mahogany Stair Slide

Scott Jones, CEO of search engine ChaCha, has apparently built himself an uber-mansion in the midwest. Why would Toolmongers give a damn? Take a look at the big-ass mahogany slide attached to a one of the house’s staircases. According to an interview with his local Channel 6 news, Jones says it was “built like a boat. It took a year-and-a-half to actually build this thing…”
That’s a lot of mahogany. And that’s Indiana opulance for you.
Check out Channel 6’s photo set (link below) for a better look at the staircase and some of this other expensive stuff. (The staircase starts around side #20.) And if you’re wondering where the cash came from, check out the Valleywag link below that.
(Thanks, Patrick, for the tip.)
