The Secret Stairs of Germania.

Somewhere in West-Germania there is a flight of stairs that is not allowed to be depicted in any way. And it has subsequently never been captured on film or (digital) canvas.

Today I finally managed to get close enough, I took lots of pictures of the Secret Stairs, mostly in burst mode to get the most out of the moment. When I was satisfied with the number of pictures taken I started to make my getaway.

However, my great escape did not last ten paces. Out of nowhere came a barbarian, making grand gestures and screaming loudly. Through my rough understanding of his rudimentary language gained from previous trips into this man's territory, I knew he wanted me to delete the pictures I had taken of the Secret Stairs revered by him and his tribe. Since I am indebted to his people (a few 100 squid) and strangers are made to pay on the spot, I did not object. I had taken nearly a hundred pictures of the secret stairs so I opted to simply format the SD card rather than deleting them manually.

So my only reminder of my endeavor is a picture of the barbarian that stole my glory.

Actually I was there in the weekend, but the pictures were crappy, that's why I went back.

Here's the oh so special stairway:

SPOILER!! Secret Stairs

:confused:

BTW, that man is not about to walk into a wall, he was turning.

He looks like he's inspecting a dent made in the wall, probably by border crossing Dutch terrorists.

So why is this set of stairs not allowed to be depicted in any way?

So, sabotaging chemical storage tanks again, eh?

Do those stairs go all the way up?

All the way to the top of the stairs!

No..

Who should I believe, an important and respected historian (Tacitus) or a barbarian (you)?

I bet you're one of those Longobards who whishes he was a proper Saxon.

Asterix and Obelix rock! I went on vacation to Alesia.. Anyone know where Alesia is?

Oh you mean where the Battle of Alesia or Siege of Alesia took place in September 52 BC around the Gallic oppidum of Alesia, a major town centre and hill fort of the Mandubii tribe? Situated probably atop Mont Auxois, above modern Alise-Sainte-Reine in France, but this location—it is said—does not fit Caesar's description of the battle? A number of alternatives have been proposed over time, among which only Chaux-des-Crotenay (in Jura in modern France) remains as challenger today?

That Alesia?

:mad: No! Noone knows where Alesia is! Who cares where Alesia is! *mutter*

My opinion? :D ... :D

It's all in your head. :eek: ;) :D :afrog:
