quote:Italy's famous leaning tower of Pisa has stopped moving for the first time in its 800-year history, engineers who have worked to stabilise it say.
The man in charge of the team monitoring the 26m euros (£20m; $40m) project says the tower should remain stable for at least another 200 years.
It took the team more than 10 years to stabilise the tower. ...
As if to underline the success of the project, the leaning tower recently lost its title as the world's wonkiest piece of architecture to the steeple of a small church in Germany.

Now we'll have to start a "build something wonkier than that freaking German church steeple" campaign, just to make the Pisanos feel better.
