I Watched a documentary about some of the people that still live there. Probably one of the most boring documentaries I've ever watched. I've watched documentaries on the history of indoor plumbing that were more interesting.

Still, pretty crazy.

As the grandson of a plumber and son of a plumbing engineer, just have to jump in here and defend plumbing...it's damn interesting! It's also responsible for a larger chunk of recent increases in longevity than probably anything other than maybe antibiotics.
