    - i don't know how true that is, but there's certainly only one monument in DC designed by a woman anyone knows... - x Sep 30, 03:21 4
      - that is ... awesome. -- nm - loosilu Sep 30, 04:42 2

        this was on my online test. I know it forever, now. -- nm - Reagen Sep 29, 21:23 6
        
        I never would have guessed it though. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 21:25 3
