Fun fact about the tower of Pisa: it started leaning as it was being built, so the floors are not all parallel with each other. Rather than demolish the partially-built structure when it started leaning (due to unstable soil), the builders compensated as they went up.

Hmm, science, old lit & random weird facts served me decently! If there had been any 90s movies in there, I would have really been playing to my strengths ;p

It took 3 visits before my dad came to visit me at a time of year when it was feasible to drive up to the Reichenbach Falls -- totally worth it as we both got a huge kick out of it (he used to read the stories to me when I was little), though I'm sure he was thinking about Jeremy Brett while I was mostly imagining Benedict Cumberbatch.

When are we doing live open-thread comment-section trivia?? BYOB!
