Was that an 'acid thing' Cag? If so, we used to get that too in the UK and it's weird that a particular hallucination should have become a trans-atlantic meme in the jaw-clenching, nail-chewing physco-trip set!

Victorian would be correct, even over here, peter. 
And I think you're about right on the vintage. Wikipedia says the tower was renovated and made taller in 1860 (to 110' 6", if anyone cares); I would assume the staircase dates from then.

To date I don't think anyone has posted either 'the spiral into madness' or 'the spiral into debt' - and I'm not sure I want them to, but it's a good way of 'bumping the thread!

Thanks Guys! Sorus' beautiful galaxy makes me think that a spiral must be the much sought after link that the scientists pursue - that between the invisibly small and the ineffably big.

Life Is Art: This Photo of a Ukrainian Parliamentary Brawl Is Composed Like a Renaissance Painting
By Joe Berkowitz
A candid shot from a fight that broke out in Ukrainian parliament has been turned into Renaissance-style art, and rightly so.
Sometimes art hides in unexpected places. So many tiny moments from anyone's quotidian existence can be infused with natural beauty worthy of literature or paintings. Of course, this magnificence also extends to explosively dramatic moments when the shit decorates the fan. A candid picture from one such recent fiasco, a brawl that broke out in Ukrainian Parliament, can't be described any way other than fine art.
Facebook user Manzil Lajura has drawn attention to a particular photo from the parliamentary fight back in April. Apparently, it has the delicate composition of a Renaissance painting, despite all the very modern fabric making up the men's suits. To make the point, Lajura shows that the painting follows a golden spiral, a geometric form that gets wider with every quarter turn it makes. The proportions of the photo are in line with classic art—elevating the participants to the level of avenging angels, rather than nationalist leaders at odds over the Crimean crisis.

Awesome; the 'goden ratio' had to come in sooner or later [and it works!].

Good composition is good composition, apparently -- no matter what the subject is!

I'm surprised you actually did the quiz, it was just a bit of fun.
The movie in the bonus question was an 80's British Sci-Fi effort:
Space Girl is played by the French actress, Mathilda May who
plays over 90% of her scenes fully naked.
Probably the reason why this crappy sci-fi movie is
still a must-see classic.

As a keen afficienado of crappy 1980's brittish sci-fi B movies I feel it is my duty to check it out.
