If anybody asks why I’m grumpy on Thursday morning, it’s because honking horns, whooping drunkards, fireworks (mixed with small arms fire) and sirens of every variety make for a difficult sleeping environment.

At least now we can (hopefully) put the “curse” of William Penn behind us. Now when our teams suck, we’ll have to blame it on poor play and incompetent management, rather than on the outsized phallus skyscraper envy of a century-old bronze statue.

If you’re not familiar with the curse, which ties the fate of Philadelphia’s sports teams to the height of buildings built since 1987, check out the Wikipedia entry. Note that, as of 10:30 pm on Wednesday night, someone has already edited the page to reflect the Phillies’ win. These are truly remarkable times.

spread the panic!
