I thought it was September, Not April.

True story about columns.

An architect designed a church, domed, no columns, the building inspectors walked in ran out and said "It's going to cave in without columns. There was a long argument snd finally he put in support columns.. Hundreds of years later the Church building owners figured they had better inspect the tops of the columns to see if they had deteriorated, After all we don't want the roof to cave in do we?

So they put up scaffolding, climbed to the top and found... Birds nesting, the columns ended 2 feet shy of the roof and had never held more than birds nests.
