I find marathons annoying.
It’s a traveling traffic snarl mafia going from city to city.
They hire staff, round up volunteers, lay out cups of gatorade on tables, put out plastic toilets, surround the track with traffic cones and cops. all to celebrate a guy who ran 26 miles to say “We won” and died.
I can commemorate that by sending an email or making a phone call.
In 2500 years, will they climb buildings to commemorate the victory of the giant ape who escaped his evil captors and grabbed the bimbo, only to get killed by all those biplanes?
