As a keepsake for my traveling in Germany, I would like to take a pebble from the Berlin Wall-is it illegal (or perhaps frowned upon) to do so? I'm aware that they sell (presumably fake) pieces in gift shops, however to me that would defeat the…
What is the oldest building or structure in the world that's still in regular use today?
