November 08, 2007

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tower in the small village of Suurhusen in northwestern Germany leans more than the famous tower in Pisa in Italy. They say Pisa's tower tilts at an angle of 3.97 degrees, whereas the tower in Suurhusen leans at 5.07 degrees. And the mayor of Suurhusen is hoping the world record will put the village firmly on the tourist map.Joanna Partridge reports for Reuters
