How many bridges are there in the us?
According to the 2006 Bridge Inventory issued by "Better Roads", there are close to 600,000 bridges in the US. This includes all bridges of 20 foot or greater length that carry roadways open to the public. It does not include railroad bridges. Other interesting fact: according to the same report, close to 25% of all bridges are either Structurally Deficient (SD) or Functionally Obsolete (FO).
Per the Federal Highway Authority (FHWA): "An SD bridge is one that (1) has been restricted to light vehicles only, (2) is closed, or (3) requires immediate rehabilitation to remain open. An FO bridge is one in which the deck geometry, load carrying capacity (comparison of the original design load to the State legal load), clearance, or approach roadway alignment no longer meets the usual criteria for the system of which it is an integral part."

How did the term gothic originate?
The Goths became a byword for northern barbarism and from the sixteenth century their name was given to the dominant architectural and artistic style of the late medieval period, which had originated in France in the twelfth century. The style became idealized in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries within Romanticism, leading to the architectural Gothic revival, beginning in Britain but spreading to continental Europe (including as far east as Ukraine, Belarus and even Russia) and North America, by which medieval buildings were restored and large numbers of civil, ecclesiastical and educational buildings built in a medieval style.
The creation of literary works that employed such late medieval backdrops to explore dark aspects of human nature and the supernatural led to the creation of Gothic fiction, which was the origin of the modern horror genre in books, film, T.V. and more recently video games.
From the 1980s these works provided the visual and atmospheric inspiration for the Gothic subculture, producing Gothic music, as well as fashions, fiction and events.

Why dont many hotels have a 13th floor?
Many consider 13 to be an unlucky number. A lot of elevators, especially in America, don't have a 13th floor and skip right over to 14. It doesn't mean that you're missing a floor, because technically the 14th is the 13th, just not called the 13th because 13th is unlucky (does "Friday the 13th" ring a bell?)

Where did pointed arches in architecture originate?
They orientated from Gothic Architecture and Design.
Pointed arches were used in Gothic architecture to help support the weight of vaulted ceilings. Rounded arches previously used could not support the increased height, width and weight of new building designs. The concept of the pointed arch operates in a similar manner as two leaning objects. Two sides of a pointed arch lean against each other for support and the increased force and loads placed on the arches from the ceiling is displaced onto the flying buttresses, which are supported by the ground. The increased roof support provided by the pointed arches allowed building walls to be thinner. Decorative details seen on arches were a natural consequence of Gothic design.

I found a website [see below] with very good information. Here it is and I hope it helps you too. It explains more than stained glass cutting.
COMMENT:
Cutting of stained glass is almost a Zen experience. You have to know if the glass is warm enough, know the proper frying bacon sound that the scoring tool makes, and trust that when you flex with your thumbs that you won't sever anything important.
When it works it feels great. When it doesn't you are left with an oddly shaped piece of pricey waste glass.
The physical parts are:
- You scratch a line into the surface of the glass with a small tool with a carbide wheel at its tip. You then flex the glass slightly over the scratch . A crack follows the scored line and you have two pieces.
- Alternately there are glass bandsaws with a small diamond imbedded wire blade that lets you saw the glass like a board.
