Tourist jumps from Tower of Pisa

A Dutch man committed suicide by jumping off the Leaning Tower of Pisa just days after its restoration ended.

The 22-year-old tourist bought a ticket to enter the famous monument and then jumped over a metal barrier on the fourth level to fall to his death, Italian news agency ANSA reported.

He's as flat as a piazza.

Totally screwed up the experiment by not waiting for the fat guy to climb over the rail and jump with him.

To be or not to be?
Is it better to be the only splat
or to be the smaller splat?

ah...perchance to dream or die?
Die and be remembered?
Remembered as the only splat.
