Insight

What did one column at the Acropolis say to another? "I'm feeling a bit wobbly today!"

Origin

The word 'Acropolis' is derived from two ancient Greek words meaning 'high city', but some people believe it actually comes from an old joke about how high you have to climb in order to get there!
