Of all the things going on, I really like the stone-slicing robot which
cut the stairs.

This project has been going for 10 years, but I hadn't heard of it. I
wonder how many other rather strange privately-financed ideas are underway?


I love the long-sightedness of the project. Marvellously pointless and yet
inspiring.


Will eventually be discovered and worshipped by the apes, and then
destroyed by some accidental time travellers, who sent back via a
wormhole a rather harrowing documentary on their plight.

Except everyone else called that a film....
