They’re keeping a failed construction project balanced between ‘right’ and ‘collapsing’.

I’d be more worried about the yuan and the ‘secret formula’ China uses to determine it’s value.

Eight hundred years that sucker’s been standing there waiting for me to walk underneath. Eight hundred years and then SPLAT.

This is an example of hubris. The tower is certain to fall down any time now.

I thought this thread would be referring to the omnibus amnesty bill going down in flames. Pardon me...

That’s what I was thinking too. That S.O.B.’s as good as on the ground!

They have weighed down the base to counteract the flawed initial construction. It should be rectifying itself. They don’t want to fix it. They seem to want it half broken.

• Around 2.5 million tourists visited the Campo dei Miracoli last year but tourists are only allowed into the tower in small groups.

I was one of those.

Take a good look, that will be a muslim minatret of a mosque in about 20 years and then we will have to bomb it.

Back in 1990, My Wife and I walked to the top of the leaning tower. You could still do that then. It was a strange feeling, walking on such an incline. I was glad to get safely back to mother earth.

The residents were warned that the brown liquid substance oozing from the ground was NOT mud. They were ‘rectified’ as well I guess. :)

I’ve said for a long time that somebody was missing out on a terrific entrepreneurial opportunity: The Leaning Tower of Pizza.
