Got something moderately exciting in the mail today... the Spanish version of the 1996 Where in the World game. Sadly, it's kind of a mess. For one thing, they didn't even try to translate some of the puns.))

Sadly its not surprising PC game translation was pretty lax back then and most of the time it had nothing to do with cost either. Mostly they didn't want to take the time to find someone to do it right simply because they didn't have to.
Yesterday, while watching a streamer, I learned something cool about the Eiffel Tower. The 72 names engraved on the Eiffel Tower belong to French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who supported the building process. These golden letters are located on the first level (the lowest platform) of the tower, just beneath the balcony that runs around the structure.
Other things I learned about it: The stairs only go up to the 2nd floor. After that you have to take an elevator. The original spiral staircase was sold for scrap.
