I once offhandedly told a colleague that our office windows contain a pure vacuum. When she worriedly asked what would happen if one broke, I kept a straight face and detailed a local apocalypse: we’d all be sucked into the void and perish.
The existential horror in her eyes was priceless.
With a heavy, mournful sigh, she remarked: "It’s just awful how recklessly people use technology. We must fight for our planet."
I’m truly grateful to her for making the workday entertaining and for never failing to surprise me with her absolute lack of critical thinking. I’ve yet to find an answer as to why the dim-witted are always so frantically active. Probably shouldn't even try.
Anyway, thanks, Stela.

Having people next to the stela really shows the scale of the monument. Click the image to see the top too.
