Eiffel Tower facts. 1. The Eiffel Tower was completed on March 31, 1889 and was the world's tallest man-made structure for 41 years until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1930. 2. Construction of the Eiffel Tower took two years, two months and five days, which was a 180 years fewer than Paris's other great attraction, Notre Dame. 3. The Eiffel Tower was originally intended to stand for 20 years before being dismantled. However, it was used as a wireless telegraph transmitter which allowed it to stay. 4. Gustave Eiffel, who was the engineer and architect behind the Eiffel Tower, was also involved in building the Panama Canal which ended up being a complete disaster. The U.S. took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal in 1914. 5. Victor Lustig was a con artist who "sold" the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal on two separate occasions. 6. During the German occupation, the tower's lift cables were cut, and the tower closed to the public. Nazi soldiers then attempted to attach a swastika to the top, but it was so large it blew away and had to be replaced with a smaller one. 7. There are a total of 1,665 steps; most people take the lift to the top. 8. During cold weather, the tower shrinks about six inches. 9. Today, the Eiffel Tower attracts nearly 7 million visitors a year, which makes it the second most visited paid-for monument in the world. 10. The Eiffel Tower gets repainted every 7 years, which requires 60 tons of paint.

Worth digging out this full scene from The Wire if you can. 10/10 television and a 10/10 song to go with it. RIP Shane.
