The original stairway to heaven, no, not Led Zeppelin, but the Tower of Babel. Babel is translated from the original Hebrew as "God Gate", like in "Stargate." Creepy, eh?
The EU love it. You can tell that by their poster, with their 11 upside down pentagrams going round it. Even creepier, eh?
In fact the EU liked it so much they built their own. Apparently they leave seat 666 specially empty. Are they waiting for someone? Even more creepy, no?
I wonder what happens if you walk down the stairs backwards?
They knew how to build things back in the day. It seems that you get to the top of the stairs and then jog the last bit. The guy on the fun run is obviously a musician. He’s left a 12 string guitar on the stairs, perhaps he’ll be playing a harp from now on. On a practical note, it’s a bit of a nuisance having the stairs start in the water.
This one is a little worrying. If you look halfway up you will notice that the right hand side is in need of repair. That must be where the sign was that had two meanings. Someone could have a nasty accident there. And it makes me wonder….about who is responsible?
This seems to be a sturdy staircase. Well built, safe, with no danger of falling off. I don’t know if I’m right, it’s just a feeling I get when I look to the west.
The theme park stairway. It’s steep and looks dangerous. You get all the way to the top after you’ve queued for hours and hours, only to find that someone gets in front of you, because they’ve been fast-tracked.
The London Regional Transport stairway. It is an escalator, but you get halfway up and then it break down. It's totally unreliable. The number of escalators out of service on LTR is rising, almost one in three of the total of 276 is out of order. Change at the Angel for Heaven.
This one defiantly does not conform to health and safety guidelines. Too narrow, no safety rail and there’s a nasty crack on the first couple of steps.
Maybe heaven a is place right here on earth, where you climb way up to the top of the stairs and you go knock, knock, knocking on heavens door.
