Everyone makes mistakes. It"s a simple fact of life. But, unlike, the architect who designed the Leaning tower of Pisa Italy, most people"s mistakes does not weigh 14,500 tonnes. History is a fickle judge, however, and the people of Pisa don"t just like the leaning tower, they adore it. Strange that such a colossal miscalculation has instead been embraced as a symbol of civic pride. But perhaps it"s just a front for the tourist trade - you can purchase a ceramic leaning tower of Pisa of your very own at nearly every souvenir shop in the city.
