Amazing how little thought today's average doofus gives to fabricating
some of the basic necessities of life ... someplace else to eat, sleep
and sit, besides on the ground or a rock.
And you would think an "architect" would know better:
"We really thought nothing of it. We had used it as storage,
Christopher DeOrsay, an architect, told the globe."
