>The Leaning Church

>The National Geographic is reporting that a church in Germany beats the Tower of Pisa as the most titled structure in the world:

The battle for the most-tilted-tower title has gotten downright medieval, with a 13th-century German church flattening the circa-1372 Leaning Tower of Pisa’s record, Guinness World Records announced this week. Compromised by a wooden foundation and sodden soil, the Suurhusen church’s 15th-century steeple addition tilts at a 5.07-degree angle, versus the Italian tower’s current 3.97 degrees, according to Olaf Kuchenbecker of Guinness World Records’ German office.

If you notice the picture of the leaning church, at least the church leans to the right.
