The Human Game: A Shrine for a Fake God

The Bridge of Sighs is a real place! It's in Venice, and leads from the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.

Quoth Wikipedia:

The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge's name, given by Lord Byron as a translation from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri" in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.

Does this Mean Things? It's a mystery.

I think Benedict's reasoning is reasonable - add a vote to his pile.
