In how many mangled languages? I think Gifu's Melsa holds the local record, with
Gaggin' Annie female announcements in both English and French, for some reason.

But anyway. So I'm a bastard for wanting to walk up the escalator because the
damned thing moves at three cm per solar year and there are too many damned
people leaping down the fixed stairways like they're fleeing from multiple
hatchet murderers. At least -- MOST of the time -- with an escalator you get
something resembling a clear channel.
