PUT THIS WANKSTAIN ON IGNORE

This is similar to Cliff Young, a 61 year old potato farmer, who won the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne UltraMarathon, with a ludicrous shuffling action. He won because whislt everybody else would stop to sleep and eat etc. Cliffy didn't know you were allowed to, and as such just kept shuffling on and on and on through the night.

So a 61 year old untrained potato farmer beat professional athletes who had trained for months, and became a national hero.

In his gumboots.

Fresh water bridges, much like fish, are garbage imitations of their salt water cousins. Bridges are only ever impressive when spanning giant gorges or bodies of salt water.

If they'd wanted Tower Bridge I'm sure they would have bought that.
They specifically requested the London Bridge!

If you'd spent god-knows-how-much transporting a bridge across the Atlantic, would you admit you'd hosed up?

The original London Bridge with all the houses build on it was probably pretty impressive in a Kowloon City sota way.

Then people would drink from the river and get cholera. Adding new torrents of vomit and poo poo to the streets, seeping into the river, which other people would drink and get cholera.

The circle of poop.

They've been around over 500 million years and at one point were one of the most abundant lifeforms on the planet, there's some limestone beds which are made up almost entirely of crinoid fragments.

There's also some badass crinoid fossils like this:
