Amsterdam Skinny Bridge and James Bond Trivia

A segment of the 1971 James Bond film *Diamonds are Forever* features a tour guide discussing the "Skinny Bridge" (Magere Brug) in Amsterdam. The guide claims the bridge was built by two sisters who ran out of money, resulting in its narrow design. This historical explanation is scrutinized for logical consistency, suggesting the name likely derives from the bridge's physical dimensions rather than a lack of funds.
