So the sun is closest to greenland, canada and britain... makes sense considering how hot those places are... and australia is furthest from the sun, that icy tundra of a country.

Other than the Tower of Babel, does anyone have any neat reference of a "tower of stairs"? Stuff like Tatlin's Tower:

or things of that ilk. Tall, and a little out of control.
Hm

Not quite the same, but campaniles are weirdly absent from Quake.

I couldn't see of the crumbling examples though. Climbing up the inside of one is pretty hair raising, because there are no internal floors (at least in the one I went up).

Second row, third from left: I used to use a very similar one of these comptometers, made by Burroughs. I used it to work out discounts like thirty-three and one third % plus ten %, which is 40%, not 43.33% of course. More complicated discounts were not so obvious and needed a machine to work out.
Those were the (non-decimal) days when men were men and pin tables were the Quake of the day.

mfx - That's an awesome link. And then I saw this : "Curated by Paul Pepera." Ahh, that's why. :)
