Dear Dr Colaco,

I wonder if in the below paragraph, you have
inadvertently typed Western India instead of Western
Europe. The folklore surrounding sacrifice while
building bridges is common in Western Europe. Infact,
the nursery rhyme "London Bridge is falling down" is a
cryptic reference to this horrific act. The bridge
endured several disasters and there was always the
implied threat of human sacrifice to make it work.
