why is the stone so black where everyone kisses it?

I'd guess moulds and bacteria have done that over time.

I've worked it out though.  I don't have a fear of heights.  It's a fear of falling and totally mashing my bones up on impact that scares the bejesus out of me.

   The last sentence just had me in fits of giggles!!!

That's actually cleaned regularly which is why the stone there is black, where the rest is grey and speckled.

Strange but true............. I served as an Air Sea Rescue Winchman in the Royal Navy & as the job required, I dangled under the helicopter on a bloody wire in all sorts of dangerous situations & never batted an eyelid (well may be once or twice)........... but when I climb a ladder to a height of more than about six feet I'm crapping myself....

I can ride the tallest of roller coasters without blinking an eye, but can't climb a ladder either.  Wonder if it's because we're kind of 'strapped in' that we feel safe on one occasion, but not the other?

I'm the same.  Could always climb trees, but ladders scared the hell out of me.

Respect to people who can race up and down ladders without a care in the world.
