You're pretty sure, then, that the builders
of the Newport Tower were Lutherans?

Didn't I read that they found the dessicated remains of a meatball
with
a whitish coating and a greenish gelatinous substance with slivers
of
what appeared to be carrots embedded in it?


If they did find that, it must have been deposited by some guest
worker
from
Poland or the Baltic states after the Scandinavian foreman had
conducted
the final inspection.

Or hidden short before and a foot standing on the top, but Polish or
Baltic - it does sound Persian - Sweden stole the meatballs from
Persia,
took away parsley the Persian used and voila Swedish meatballs......


Yes, it all makes scents now.
