Ok, forget the "don't update too often" dictum, it seems better to update whenever I feel like it. That way things which are in my head get typed instead of wasting away until I have the energy to post.

Anyway...according to Wikipedia, the most visited building in the world since December 1986 is...the Baha'i temple in Delhi. That seriously surprised me, although it's another reminder not to underestimate the power of religion. After all, the largest gathering of people for any single purpose is the (Maha) Kumbh Mela, another religiously motivated event in Allahabad, this time Hindu. Estimates for the number of people there range up to 70 million. That speaks for itself.

So naturally I did more Wikipedia surfing on the Baha'i faith, which I knew little about. Very interesting that the governing authority of the religion seems to be essentially democratically elected, probably at least partly a legacy of the faith being less than 200 years old. Check it out:
