You didn't say 'apparently' for this one. Could you quote for us the source which tells you this? Care also to explain with diagrams and engineering studies how you would put a geyser powered funicular into the gallery? Are you talking about their using plain old muscle power?

As noted many times before that number is wrong - and you know this. Why do you purposely use bad data? To impress us with your inability to learn? We're not all it does is make you look uneducated.

I love how you just make up stuff about things you know absolutely nothing about...hilarious
