Not a lot of surprises on Lonely Planet’s list of most iconic human-made structures. But there’s a eyebrow-raiser in the text of the entry:

How many electricians does it take to change a light bulb on the Eiffel Tower? A whole team is required to maintain the 10,000-odd light bulbs that illuminate the 324m (1060ft) tower. Built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition and to celebrate the French Revolution, Paris’ tower was designed by Stephen Sauvestre and was named after Gustave Eiffel — who specialised in iron construction including the Statue of Liberty and portable bridges sold around the world in kits.

Italics mine. When you click on the travel guide’s dedicated page for Eiffel Tower, it reads, “The Eiffel Tower, named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, is 324m high, including the TV antenna at the tip.”

OK, so they can’t get their facts straight. I’m still happy that my favorite erection made the list!
