I read the first headline as “Nips at China’s Great Wall” at first.

I’ve whizzed from/on the Great Wall numerous times during day hikes. You, Marmot, would especially enjoy taking in the breathtaking view of former Mongolian lands as you relieve yourself. It’s the only urinal on earth that can be seen from the moon!

Now I have something to do when I visit China. I will take a piss at the Wall. If Chinese police stops me, I will tell them that Mormot suggested it.

Let’s make this a tradition. Every Marmoteer who visits the Wall, must take a leak. It is like an initiation trial. You must do it if you want to be a Marmoteer.

Pissing on the wall helps dissolving the cement that holds the stones together. I call this helping the locals gathering some building materials… which they’ve been doing before the White Man knew about China anyway.
