[challenge entry] The Great Fence of China
Messing with history. If it had been a fence and not a wall, would it have had 4 million posts ?
I am off to bed now. (uk 00.18hrs).
B3ta will reach the 4 million posts mark in the night.
If it took only 10 min to do an average item/post, thats 76 years of time down the pan.
Long enough to build the Great F3nce of China ?

# Neither is the real Wall
It's too thin a line.
There's a large number of things that are big and square enough however... the honda factory in Swindon being one of them :)

edit: sod this for a lark, I have to be at work in 6 hours... night all

# I read somewhere
that the largest man-made structure that is visible from space is a garbage heap just outside new york

# Of course
considering that satellites can get a resolution down to around 10m on other planets there are probly very few man-made structures that aren't visible from space.
