I know the place! It's just below the James Hall Museum of Transport. Spent a day with them there. What awesome engineering!

This is officially the steepest street in the world.

It's Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand - officially recognised as the world's steepest street with a 35 PERCENT average gradient over 350 metres!!

 

 

Baldwin Street in Dunedin is the world’s steepest residential street. At its steepest point, the slope is 19°, or 35%. That means the street has a gradient of 1m in 2.86m, or simply: you walk 2.86m horizontally and climb 1m vertically. Baldwin Street is host to a special event during the Cadbury Chocolate Carnival in July every year, when thousands of “Jaffas” (candy) are released at the top of Baldwin Street and bounce their way to the bottom of the street.

Salam Kahil Is A Sandwich Man With A Heart, And A Sexy Past

 

 

 

In the opening scene of the short documentary "The Sandwich Nazi," deli owner Salam Kahil tells "the candle story."

The tale involves Kahil (then a male escort), a female client, and a long candle.

"She had a candle in her hand," he says, "And I was wondering: 'What for?'" (We'll, uh, let you fill in the sordid details—but let's just say extracting it involved a trip to St. Paul's hospital.)

Nice to see I'm not alone in this world :) ... I've finally seen someone more damaged than me. Loved this video and love the message.
