Interesting one i just came across.

The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.

Read your captains manual properly Cam, page 6, paragraph 2, Quote ("Koalas are not of the bear family, any mention of the word bear, written or verbal will incur a fine of not one, but two cartons of beer to the brigades next social function") Yes I know it might seem a little unjust, but you have had a considerable increase in pay for the Captains role! :-D
