On the same day I learn that Mr Rogers has gone to live, forever, in the neighborhood of make believe, I read that THIS has been decided.

The death of Mr Rogers must have caused me to blow a fuse, because the other story made me think of this:

Genesis 11:1-9: The Tower of Babel

1 Now the whole Earth used the same language and
the same words.
2 And it came about as they journeyed east, that
they found a plain in the land of Shinar and
settled there.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make
bricks and burn them thoroughly." And they used
brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 And they said, "Come, let us build for ourselves
a city, and a tower whose top will reach into
heaven, . . ."
