That’s literally the article in the OP.

I'm going to ignore the snide tone of your comment and simply assure you that, yes, I am familiar with the Peanuts character. I simply didn't expect high schoolers in the 90's to be that aware of a newspaper comic strip.

It's a quote from the Monty Python sketch that the previous commenter was referencing.

>If one of you could put in a word for me, I'd love to be a freemason.

I honestly didn't keep up with him for long after high school. I know that he hated hog farming (he came from an old-fashioned family who considered kids to be free labor), so I doubt that he followed the family business, especially the way family farms have been bought up by corporate interests. I know that he enlisted in the Marines and spent some time in Japan but, after that, I don't really know. I hope he found himself a career and built a good life.

I went to high school with a kid whose family were hog farmers. Poor kid always smelled like pig shit. He was a nice and smart kid but, no matter how recently he showered, there was always a vague, earthy, shit-smell around him. He got teased and called "Pigpen" which, in fairness, was remarkably clever for high schoolers in the 90's.

You know what? I'm sorry. This is an incredibly stupid argument even for reddit, and I realize that I'm not willing to wade into it. You're right, thanks for the correction, whatever you want to hear.

Sure it is. The generally accepted standard for a skyscraper is 492 feet tall.

And, with that height, you know the wind carries the stench for miles.

Hell, it looks a lot nicer than the "coffin apartments" that a lot of people live in across China, just for lack of options.

A fair question. I imagine that, some day, it will be in the Smithsonian or a similar institution. But, yeah, it's not going anywhere any time soon.
