HONG KONG, China - Daredevil Alain Robert -- dubbed the 'French Spiderman' -- climbed a Hong Kong skyscraper on Friday and unfurled a "peace banner" as the financial hub is rocked by historic political unrest.

The 57-year-old adventurer, who specializes in unsanctioned ascents of tall buildings, shimmied up the 68-storey Cheung Kong Center in Hong Kong's main business district in hot and humid conditions on Friday morning.

During the climb he attached a banner featuring the Hong Kong and Chinese flags, as well as two hands shaking.



Prior to the ascent Robert put out a statement saying the message of his climb was to make "an urgent appeal for peace and consultation between Hong Kong people and their government".

"Perhaps what I do can lower the temperature and maybe raise a smile. That's my hope anyway," Robert said in his media statement. https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/08/16/19/french-spiderman-scales-hong-kong-skyscraper-with-peace-banner

5. The VERY First Thing I Thought Of When I Saw That Headline

Of course, it's not meant to be taken literally. It could refer to all manufacturers of dairy products.

6. Indeed

Also what Jesus plainly fails to see is that it is the meek who are the problem.
