Something most everyone that reads this blog, knows about me is that I love to talk about personal finance. However, something most of my readers don't realize is that I also love trivia. Yep, that's right, I said, I love trivia. One place, I get my fix for my trivia is this trivia blog.
Everytime, I read this particular blog, I learn something new. For example, did you know?:

2. Only one worker was killed during the construction.
3. The Eiffel Tower weighs seven thousand tons.
4. The Eiffel Tower is painted once every seven years and it takes 50 tons of paint to complete the job.
5. On a clear day visitors can see more than 40 miles from the tower’s top.

7. There are 1,665 steps from the bottom to the top of the tower.
8. The first televised transmission from the Eiffel Tower took place in 1957.
