When I was in school, my university climbed up the inside of an old smokestack. It had rock-climbing equipment and planned on rappelling down the outside. When it was almost to the top, the old generator started up and fumigated the university, which then fell to its death.
I see universities haven't gotten any smarter over the years.
One year the University of Kansas fell into a grain silo.
That was nearly the end of that, but somehow they got out.
~Whew~
