The copper broad with the torch is almost 20 miles away, directly through the WTC. No way you can see her, even from the original 408 foot radio tower.

The real question is how much will it cost me to erect an 80 meter tall dickbutt on the island.

"This story however, is about one such tiny island, just 150 feet square" = 150'x150' or 22,500 sq. ft.

You're expecting good reporting from a stupid blog? The wording they use is a bit dated, but you could say "150ft square" to mean "150 feet squared", which is what they mean, for a total sqft of 22,5k
