5x expanded by DACC23 (talk) and Epicgenius (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 20:36, 15 May 2021 (UTC).
5x expanded and nominated the same day and is therefore new enough and long enough. the first hook is interesting and I for a good kick out of it, and it would appeal to a broader audience due to its simplicity. Would consider dropping "66-room" as it kind of draws attention away from the fun fact aspect of it, but no biggie. It's cited to a reliable source and NPOV is considered. QPQ completed.
