This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And a plumb bob is a very basic level where you attach a weight to a string, and that string to a flat thing. Wikipedia says they were used at least in ancient Egypt, so it's particularly relevant.
Oh, so that's plumbum, lead ? I should have guessed from the french fil à plomb ≈ string with lead Cheers !
