- I wonder how the plumbing worked for the bathroom in his private office at the top of the tower.

- That site is everything that's wrong with the internet at the moment.
A dizzying array of adverts and popups.
- All spiral staircases have a single guardrail. That’s why they aren’t double helix staircases.

- Wasn't the Eiffel Tower built as a temporary exhibition?
Can't believe the resources that took for 'temporary', and that it lasted this long.
- I kind of feel like in the old days, people weren’t really afraid of heights. Heights were fairly new, and exciting, and the consequences of falling were not well understood yet. It’s why you would see skyscraper construction workers jumping around and sitting on beams to enjoy a casual lunch thousands of feet up, without a care in the world.

- Look, I know ads are the mechanism for some sites. And I don’t normally “this site gave my phone cancer”.. but on IOS with blockers, everything except the text on the site can go fuck itself.
Been to the top of the Eiffel, it was a long enough set of elevator rides to flirt with and eventually date a French girl. So that probably wouldn’t have happened on stairs.

- Well, that certainly wouldn't have overwhelmed my fear of heights. /s
I'd probably physically lock up in a state of panic. My SO had to rescue me on a far less severe stairway last year when I freaked out at a third story height that was kind of open. Imagine what this could do to someone with vertigo.
