Recent trips to IKEA with Amalia have renewed my love of escalators. The escalator at IKEA is flat, it never forms into stairs like the average esacalor (see above), which is why I think it's such a treat.
The longest escalator in the world is in Moscow, clocks in at 410ft (740 steps), and takes almost three minutes to ride. Eight people died and 30 more were injured on February 17, 1982, when an escalator collapsed on the Moscow Metro. The shortest is in Japan, and measures only 32 inches (see below).
"that kid is BACK on the escalator AGAIN!"

Fact: I cannot stand on an escalator without laughing.
welcome to the bloggityblogblog world! hello.
sidenote about escalators:: when my brother and i were little, my brother's shoelace got stuck in an escalator and my mom flipped out and quickly got his foot out of the shoe before the shoe got partially sucked into the escator at the top and jammed the whole thing.
COOL.
Oh, Wow. A new blog with a great post. Look at you, Liz! You're blogging! You're really blogging!
