Tul, in post 8415 and 8416 I think we got narrowed it down to Europe. I "think" we already mentioned all countries in Europe that are in the WH...so that's why I said Gibraltar since it's a "British Overseas Territory" whatever that imperialistic mumbo jumbo means.

now that I check, I am sort of hanging.
amonkie...would you be so kind as to get me off the hanging hook, so to speak, by taking my turn this time? I figure you're new in our game, I would like to give you a shot at being "it", and I can't think of anyplace yet!!! If you decline, no problem...I'll think of someplace quite soon. |

are you in a tall man made structure? ...if you look up and see Superman, you might be. <<< by "man made" I mean the universal "man" which of course also includes all the fantastic women builders and architects of the world.

Tall is relative, but Man made = yes
commentary not really part of clue - You get desensitized to buildings after looking at the Sears Tower every day. And no.. It's not what Willis was talking about.
