I posted this link because when I was watching the TdF on TV yesterday I was amazed at the condition of the obelisk and wanted to check the reason for it being where it was. I found the bit about the baboons surprising and thought that it was interesting and just the sought of stuff that you all aught to know so I posted the link.

I wonder if any others have any information that they find quirky.

If so please post here.
