i took a few copies of the international herald times newspaper from my dad's office this afternoon. i was going through the september 13, tuesday's issue. i saw this article: 'In secret life of Versailles, time is of the essence'. in case you are wondering what is Versailles, it is palace located in France. a grand one in fact. it costed millions to build it in 1660s. some historians, say that the expenditure for this palace was one of the long term economic reasons that caused the french revolution.
anyway, the article wrote that the palace contatined '700 rooms and thousands of windows , statues, chandeliers and curlicues, has been high maintenance ever since the 1660s when the Sun King, Louis XIV, first moved in.'
i think i wouldn't mind working as a slave in such a grand palace. :P
