some of those crazy japanese are proposing to build a 13,000-ft tall building, housing over a million people, called x seed 4000---(for comparison, taipei 101, currently the tallest building in the world, is only 1,671 ft tall)---that would be one helluva penthouse----

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
