No, but it might have something to do with the repainting it needed when an invading force burnt it down... Cheers John Cook This is the story in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. According to Ripley, it started out pink. Pinkish-beige to be exact. It's sandstone, after all. Got to see it in early 1988 when it was being re-painted. They said that it was going to be about an inch smaller in all dimensions after all the old paint was scraped/sandblasted off. I suspect this was a leg pull, however. -- Marc Reeve actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m
