Heheh... Thanks Trevor!

Speaking of elevators...

I want to ride in a "paternoster" one day...

Here are a couple of video clips, and you'll see what I mean!

"Pater noster" means "Lord's prayer"... I think you can see why they called it that...!

(When you get on one... that's what you'll be reciting...)

They're almost gone... but apparently there are still around 250 of them in Germany!
