This guy made a periscope so he could see the Eiffel Tower out his window

Reminds me of the palindrome
As I pee, sir, I see Pisa

When I was a kid we lived in Paris for a year. You could see the Eiffel tower from our apartment - real small, between some buildings, if you stood in just the right spot in the living room. I think in my case, standing on the couch might have been involved.

If only there were a live image you could project on your giant screen TV.

Oh wait, there is.

My office door faces another guy’s and isn’t visible from most of my office. I got sick of walking over to see if visitors were knocking on his or my door, so installed a convex mirror near my door. Then I got sick of turning around from my desk to look in the convex mirror, so I installed a second mirror by the desk. With a few more in the hallways, I should be able to attend department meetings from my office.

That was the scene from the latest Godzilla that amused me the most - how to have the monster du-jour destroy famous world landmarks? Send 'em through Vegas. :wink:

Pffftt. If Hollywood has taught me anything, it’s that all windows in Paris have a clear view of the Eiffel Tower.

Pffft. Surely it’ll work anywhere with big enough mirrors in orbit. Or melt the Eiffel tower, whatevs. It’d be an event either way.
