This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Doing gods work.
I can't believe they tore it down just for some games.
It's lasted long enough. It's time they replace it with a planet Hollywood

Maybe the reason that the leaning tower of pisa is leaning is because they chipped away too much for their medals and they forgot about symmetry.
So what I am reading is if I go win every medal. I can build my own Eiffel Tower. Thus making the one in Paris a replica.

In my whole long life, this is the only thing that's inspired me to compete in and win something at the Olympics.
