My father gave a lecture on sinkholes. A student asked where the
closest place was that might have them. My father noted that
Limestone College, in the next county, was named for the marble
deposits that could form caves and sinkholes. Not long after that,
Limestone College lost a parking lot down a sinkhole, so my father
claimed to have the gift of prophecy.

The towers were built as part of traps by a clever Sumerian general
assigned to seek out and destroy the surviving dinosaurs. The
surviving tyrannosaurs were very wary and good at hiding, but by
building a big stepped tower and making a big fire on top with lots of
meat on it, the Sumerians could lure the dinos out into the open and
attack them. Thus, the searching general has determined that smoking
ziggurats are hazardous to your stealth.
