Recently, my work moved into a great new office in downtown Denver. In just about every way I could conceive of, it blows our old location out of the water.
Just about.
I don't know what makes the outside windows of a multi-story office building in a metropolitan area get dirty, but the managers of our building seem to think that Denver has a lot of it. Because there's a window washing crew with a heavy-duty spray hose outside our windows at least every other day. I think they've been out there every day this week, blasting away at the windows just inches from our desks.
It's like Lady Macbeth is out there on the scaffolding, convinced that no matter how much these windows get washed, they'll never, ever be clean again.

take the red pill
they have to keep the windows clean because the buildings are engineered with specific wind tolerances, and if there is too much friction from the wind (on the "dirtiness"), the um, "lifespan" of the building decreases and the foundation will eventually crack under the pressure.
and yes I just made that up. isn't it fun to debate things you have no knowledge of? :P there's gotta be a good reason, I know they paint bridges constantly to keep them from rusting...

Mole, you'd be fun to play Balderdash with.
