Overheard in Delft, the Netherlands, recently - an American visitor looking at an old church tower with a pronounced tilt to one side: "It's, like, totally leaning!".
Apparently "totally" is American for about 2 metres from the vertical. Or like it, anyway.
Incidentally the artist Vermeer is buried in the church, which is totally still standing.
Trying to make sense of a weird world - and maybe make it a little better. If that's not possible, then laugh at it. Those with shorter attention spans may enjoy us on Twitter at Private Pebble.
