Well, I don’t think it was ever claimed the leaning tower of Pisa is the most tilted. Particularly seeing as the church tower of Suurhusen in Germany is a lot more tilted, with a tilt of 5.19° (as registered by the Guinness society). In comparison, the leaning tower of Pisa only has a tilt of 3.97°.

I don’t understand how they could’ve overseen this! I mean, it was built BEFORE Piza, leaned MORE than Pisa… WHYYY?!

Thanks for the heads up, Gauldar. I think it’s in their ad server (it’s NPR.org, after all)

The linked website is contaminated, my AVG detected a trojan, probibly in an advertising link. Another reason why I don’t like marketing companies… sloppy and disease ridden like a $2 whore.

Hooray Entropy! At least Pisa has the benefit of unforeseen Earthly circumstances. Building on mud is just stupid.
