A neato idea: a weekly quiz, maybe for the Friday 5p quiz, about stories for that week, see how well you paid attention, ahaah.

I think when it was built, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest building on Earth, until 1930, over 40 yrs as the reigning tower.
Per Wikipedia, the Space Needle was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi when it was built.
Those buildings scraped the sky.

Another fun quiz might be take pictures of the top 10 monuments of the world, do not label them, and order them from tallest to smallest.
