| Sculpture of Woman with 100 foot high breasts to be built |
| 2005-03-28 |
| FIRST came the Angel of the North. Now motorists using the A1 are to be confronted with the far earthier figure of a giant reclining "goddess" stretching her curves alongside nearly half a mile of the dual carriageway. The woman, with breasts and hips up to 100ft high, will be created 10 miles north of Newcastle from the waste material generated by open-cast mining, with each of her enormous curves concealing millions of tons of mining spoil. By the time the "Goddess of the North" is finished in two to three years she should be among the world's largest sculptures and visible from a passing passenger jet. if this doesn't get the attention of those UFOs, nothing will |

| #35 I nominate Fran Gerard. 1967 was a very good year. Mountaineers will be overjoyed. |

| #33 So does anyone have any idea who will be the model for this? |

| #30 Unless you've been there, Andrea, and prove it with pix, lol, you'll have to accept the voice of experience. Here's "Crystal Storm" giving the lowdown on her knockers. She makes a very good living to go with her backache, methinks. |

| #28 .com you cannot imagine the back ache that woman must have?? This photo looks like something out of In Living Color T.V. show or Saturday night live. I once knew of a man who was over 500 pound's and he broke the toilet- fell on the floor and "help I can't get up". Andrea Jackson |

| #27 A dangerous thing, nippiness... almost like running with scissors... Hafta be careful or you might, like, put your eye out or something! Mom warned us, heh. (NSFW) |

| #23 You're a good man .com. I expect Andrea is happy with RB's famous non-sexist viewer point. |

| #22 Where did Charles Jencks really get his inspiration? (Assume that none of these are safe for work, of course) Was it simply because Chuck came across an egregious case of dress abuse which set him to wondering? Perhaps it was the t-shirt his cousin in America sent his, now, ex-wife... Or was it Tonka Jencks, his Big Sister, and her fascination with "big equipment"? Perhaps it was Gunther Jencks, the Adventurer in the family. Maybe it was the was the play of shadows on his secretary Myrtle... The way his old girlfriend looked up at him... Or how his new girlfriend always got the munchies late at night - it was lovely how the light framed her girlish figure. Or is it simply that Chuck finally opened his eyes - seeing the world anew - finally seeing the ocean on that last trip to the beach? What is certain is that Chuck is going through some serious changes - his midlife crisis, you might say - altering his view of the world. Chuck has been digging for answers and believes the veil has parted and he has found a universal truth - a new perspective. And he wants to share it. |

| #21 Andrea - Just think how long ago Nature had to begin creating this - to be prepared for your request... That's some serious anticipation... |

| #20 I saw those in a marine equipment catalogue under "dock fenders." That is a serious structural engineering design issue. Rather than a brassier, the apparatus should be called support works. The moments generated by these baby milk factories would destroy a normal vertebre, disc, and muscle system. |

| #15 # 14 I feel sorry for this woman! Why does the sculpture have to be a woman? Why not a man w/ erection? Andrea Jackson |

| #9 the tetons are also named for breasts (in french) oddly, in that case, 'Les grands tétons' where the adj is male -- go figure |

| #8 Sorry guys, Goffstown, New Hampshire has the patent on the subject: Mt. Uncanoonuc - an Indian name that means "woman's breasts", heh. Kinda tough bike climb on the south mountain - 650 vertical feet over .6 mile, average grade of 6.5 degrees. |

| #7 Don't we have something appropriate for this in Rantburg's Graphics Library? |

| #6 There's a line in one of the Discworld books about a certain set of stoneworks having the meaning, roughly, "I've got a great big tonker". |

| #5 I've got a great idea for an Earth Goddess / Mars / Venus menage a trois (tastefully done), but they keep rejecting my grant application. |

| #4 What a creative use of mine waste! Someone should do something similar (perhaps just a tad less earthy, so to speak) on this side of the pond. So many Kentucky streams would benefit from the result. |

| #3 So, would it be fair to assume that the sculptor is a breast man? |
