They'll Blame It On Global Warming Somehow
It seems the recently unveiled "fragile Earth" sculpture has up and disintegrated.
A million-dollar stone sculpture, intended to remind future generations of the Earth's fragility, made its point a bit early - just three months after its unveiling, it collapsed.Some called it ironic, some called it a publicity stunt, and some called it vandalism, but we're more inclined to call it 175-tons of loose stone (that had a bronze statue of a Sierra Club leader standing on top of it, no less), held in the shape of a globe by, what University officials referred to in technical jargon as, "glue."The 175-ton "Spaceship Earth" lay in ruins at Kennesaw State University after mysteriously falling to pieces last week.
The engraved phrase "our fragile craft" was still visible amid the debris.
