Reply to comment by strangehitman22 in TIL In 1930, to make way for a new building, the Indiana Bell Building, weighing 11,000 tons, was moved 16 meters and rotated 90°. The work took a month to finish and did not disrupt the building's essential services, nor its gas, water, and electricity supply. No one inside felt the building move. by LPercepts
Same. I kinda have soft plans on visiting Indianapolis for the 2024 eclipse, and when I saw how close this building is to Monument Circle in the pictures I thought "oh cool, I'll go take a look at this building too!," but when I looked up the address it looked like some ugly 60s office building.
Alas.

That's not The History Channel, that's just "History."

>The new headquarters was completed in 1932, and was seven stories tall. It was later expanded in the 1940s and 1960s to bring it to its current size and height. The original building that had been moved was demolished in 1963.[3]

Reply to comment by TheTinyTinkerer in TIL with Scallops, only the abductor muscle is eaten by humans. The rest of the meat, which is edible, may contain a buildup of toxins, and is discarded at sea. by testhec10ck
Even I'm edible, but that, dear children, is cannibalism, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies. Yeah.
