I know a restaurant that has a glass floor (I think it's block) in part of
the second floor.
Though not transparent, in the right situation one can see through just
enough.  The owner of the restaurant lives upstairs, and one evening she
called down to the hostess' stand and told the staff to look up.... the
owner and her friends were mooning the crowd through the glass floor!  Never
a dull moment.

p.s.  I am confused:  have I won for the least ordinary name or the one most
likely to mark one as a dork?  Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised by
either!

No, no, they are not transparent.  The floor of the Michigan state capitol
rotunda in Lansing, Michigan is glass -- it lets light through, but you
can't see through it.

Sure you do.  However, you and I may be the whole overlap between
Bullamanka-Pinheads and the historic cemetery lists.
