There are actually 25 lightning rods- including the tower itself- on top of the Space Needle; though lightning storms are relatively uncommon in the Seattle area, so it is not struck very often. It was recently struck by lightning three times (May 19, 2009), and was struck three years before, in 2006.
They paint the Eiffel Tower once every 7 years. When i went to Paris, on the tour of the Eiffel Tower the instructor told us, as he had painted it before. So there is ya answer.
The Eiffel tower is taller than the statue of Liberty. It is three and a half times as big as Liberty, pedestal included, or six times as big as the statue itself.The Eiffel tower is 1,063 ft (324 m) tall, whereas the statue is 305 ft or 93 m (pedestal included) or 151 ft (46 meters) for the statue proper (still huge for a statue).A common point is that Gustave Eiffel designed and built the Statue of Liberty's internal frame.
It is about 2.7 times higher.

The Empire State Building is struck by lightning approximately 100 times per year.
Eiffel tower = 1889 tower of Pisa = 1372 Taj Mahal = 1653 St Paul's = rebuilt several times (604; 962; 1088 to 1314) and the most recent 1677 so Pisa is the oldest but St Paul's has been rebuilt several times
