      This article sucks. University of Louvain (Belgium) founded in 1425 is not even mentioned...

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      I toured a tower house in Ireland recently, and they mentioned this interesting fact. In addition to that, the height of the stairs also was varied from step to step to slow down anyone running up the stairs.

                                      Also, the lower floors had super narrow windows to prevent archery people from shooting arrows through them
