Questionable Facts About Ladders
- Ladders allow you to go up and down while they themselves remain stationary.
- When a ladder gets wet, it could be slippery and unsafe to climb, and must be ‘rung out’ until dry.
- Speaking of ‘rung out,’ if there is a broken or missing rung in a ladder, it is time to find a new ladder.
- Ladders can be used to reach high places, and can also be lowered into pits to help you reach low places.
- If you walk under a ladder, you will have 7 years of bad luck trying to wash the paint out of your hair that the person on the ladder spilled on you.
- Ladders are a means of egress, similar to elevators, stairs, climbing ropes, ramps, escalators, and spiderwebs.
- Ladders will only be necessary until we all learn how to levitate or we build functional jetpacks; after that, we won’t need ladders anymore.
What questionable facts can you add to this list?

One Step At A Time
If a long and toilsome ladder
You were trying to climb,
You would not reach the top at once,
But by one step at a time.
Doubtless all of you are trying,
Different ladders to climb,
But be sure you only take
One step at a time.
One step and take it surely,
Not like a conceited fop*,
And soon you’ll find my friend.
That you have reached the top.
By Lillian E. Curtis
*fop: a person who is concerned with clothes and appearance in an affected and excessive way; a dandy.

“In spite of the fact that the ladder tapers to one-man rungs at the top, the roomiest part is farthest up.” -Charles R. Gow
“Still, I should like to remind you at the end of it all, that success on an occasion of this kind, valuable and important as it is, is in reality only putting the foot upon one rung of the ladder which leads upwards; and that the rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man’s foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher. I trust that you will all regard these successes as simply reminders that your next business is, having enjoyed the success of the day, no longer to look at that success, but to look forward to the next difficulty that is to be conquered.” -T. H. Huxley (Thomas Henry Huxley (1825 - 1895)): “Life and Letters of Thomas Huxley,” originally stated in “An Address to the Students of the Faculty of Medicine in University College, London, 18 May 1870, On the Occasion of the Distribution of Prizes for the Session”

“At first, humans climbed trees, but trees were mostly immobile, and often did not reach all of the places where one might wish to be. Eventually, humans discovered how to make movable trees that could reach a few more of the places where one might wish to be, and these human creations came to be called ‘ladders.’” -David Hugh Beaumont (born 1966)

Nobody had any presence of mind - nobody but me. I came to the rescue. I yelled for a rope. When it came I threw the old man the end of it. He caught it and I told him to tie it around his waist. He did so, and I pulled him down.’” -Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910)): as quoted in Albert Bigelow Paine: “Mark Twain: A Biography” (1912)

Up And Down The Ladder
Step by step, rung by rung,
The ladder we ascend,
And reaching the top,
We stop and look around.
A moment passes,
And then we descend,
Step by step, rung by rung,
Downward, to the bottom.
We stop and look around,
A moment passes,
Before we start our climb again,
Upward, and upward.
Up and down the ladder,
Step by step, rung by rung.
At each end we look around,
And begin our climb again.
By David Hugh Beaumont (born 1966)
