It’s like a giant Chia Pet: the 100-foot walls of the National Theatre in South Bank, London are covered in grass.
Which begs raises the question: how do you mow it?

That’s not what “beg the question” means.
I work at the NT (yes, really I do), and this installation is setting off my hayfever.

i think it will look cool if they let it grow and it gets all shaggy-looking.
The Good Reverend
These hard-line BTQ enforcers go around desecrating any blog that uses the common meaning of “beg the question.” If it “passes over or ignores a question by assuming it to be established,” which, at least to some degree, the statement about the grass walls does to the question of how they are mowed, it begs the question, according to Webster’s. Stand firm about punctuation, but let usage and grammar change and flow–it’s what makes language beautiful. Do not cave to the demands of the prescriptivists, I *beg* you.

Now I’m confused.
And I think goats would be better than cows. You could strap magnetic space boots on them, and magnetize the building.
Now that would be cool.
