This really seems to be a cruel joke. The building is on fire so you climb down rung by rung on metal. Someone skipped school on heat conductivity day. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer vickie says, “These are actually giant staples, holding the building together. Think about it.”

But it will make you all kinds of new “friends” down at Social Services. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer Dogmeat says, “The driver definitely has guts. I’ll give him that. That arrogant jerk took up 4 parking spaces for his ride! For the driver’s sake, he had better have an eye patch, know martial arts, and eat a bowl of sand with expired, curdled milk every morning for breakfast.”

I thought that’d be a cool idea for a larger sized one, put it inside a modded floor TV cabinet (you know, those big wooden ones that your grandparents had, when a TV was literally furniture)”
Hey guys, welcome to TIFI’s latest themed post: Historical (T)Hursday. After the runaway success of last week’s post, I decided to indulge our inner geeks once a week. Today I’m sharing with you the Basilica Cistern.
Built in Istanbul Constantinople by Constantine in the early part of the first millennium, it housed the water for the palace above. However, for whatever reason they decided to lug statues of the Roman Medusa to help prop up their columns. Now this isn’t an uncommon practice; after the fall of Rome its cities were scavenge for building materials. But the scale of the heads and the luxury of the architecture just lend of feeling of “Oh crap, these columns aren’t long enough…um…just shove that head in there. Constantine will never notice!”
Thanks for the tip from Fixer The Mad Brewer!
In vaguely related news, if you’re still feeling historical you might want to check out the new tab on the Lol Builder over at Cheezburger. One of my other pet projects, a site about historical portraits with funny captions, is taking shape if you wanna try a crack at it. But keep it on the down low since the site hasn’t been released to the Site Map yet. ^_~

This year Billy’s dad had to get creative to make it look like he hadn’t helped. Mission accomplished. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer dono1 says, “Little Billy’s dream of winning the soapbox derby came to an abrupt halt when his way-too-long untied shoelace became wrapped around the front axle and caused grandpa to be forcefully ejected into the bushes. The moral? Instead of focusing on winning, he should have focused on tying.”
