This reminds me of the article on bullshitting the other day. On the one hand this is useless play time that wastes resources. But it's also quite a big project. Everybody who took part in planning and executing it gained a lot of experience in project planning and management, the dynamics of working with people, how to work with their peers. No matter what random challenge tomorrow brings this group of people is probably better equipped to deal with it than most social groups who have never tackled anything like this together. Of course they may not be great at handling the mundane, and that might be what drives them to hang jacuzzis off bridges.
