Jacob's Ladder
Wrestling sometimes gets downright weird! As if wrestling isn’t awesome enough, sometimes there is a ladder in the ring! Ladder wrestling is a whole subculture with several variants and it has even been analyzed in Heideggerian terms. You do remember Heidegger, don’t you, the ontological philosopher who asked “What does it mean for something to be? And why is there a ladder in the ring?” [To earn this badge, do a general catalog search for the answer to each question. For example, for the question “What was at the top of the ladder in the first-ever ladder match?”, you would do a general catalog search for “money.” Some questions will require an internet search.]

I'm having trouble with #3. All the searches I've done for the person who invented the dumpster give me one last name, and it yields no results in a catalog search. What am I missing?
Hi there! You may be looking…
Hi there! You may be looking up the wrong last name? I just double checked and the code is in the search results when you use the last name of the person who invented the dumpster. It's in a book about lighthouses!
