    After the joke I still had to look it up. There are two types: towers and floaters.

    The tower rigs are built in shallow water on a seabed foundation (like a building) and can reach heights of 200+ feet above sea level with 60-100 feet of the tower submerged.

    The floating ones are only 30-60 feet above sea level and 60-100 feet of mostly pontoons below (like an iceberg) and are further stabilized using cables or computer-controlled thrusters.

    So my guess is the one in the photo is a tower one, but that may not be rig(ht).

    The quintessential example of this category: the pointless, yet hilarious improv comedy podcast recapping all 431 episodes of the 1960s series Bonanza: Bonanas for Bonanza ← YouTube explanation on Conan O’Brien Feeds a Friend (sic).

    I was hesitant to jump in despite loving Daly and Gourley, since I couldn’t give two sh¡ts about the show. But the show is not at all the point. It’s merely the premise that keeps the train on its tracks. So maybe it’s just the most ironic example of this category.
