    DC is a former wetland

    for like half a century after the countries founding, there was no sewer system. So a giant lake of shit formed, practically behind the White House. It’s thought a lot of the early presidents had their life shortened by cholera complications

      I think they should bring back the shit swamp, personally. I think we could use a place to dunk politicians we are displeased with.
