wopt!: Goofball Award Goes To Giant Lava Lamp! |

I spit Cheerios all over the paper when I read this one; a small town in Washington state needs some promotion so they plan to build the world's tallest Lava Lamp to bring in the tourists!!
A quote;
“People will come to see this from all over the world, just as they do when visiting other structures of awe,” says Brent Blake and John Glassco of Soap Lake, the team behind the concept. “Think of the interest this structure will have on people. It is an active, mesmerizing, vividly colorful and always changing kinetic structure. What other theme structures in the world possess such features? Visitors will be thrilled to see such a thing and will be rewarded by its scale, show of light and constantly changing elements."
Grand Coulee Dam is just up the road from Soap Lake and draws 1.5 million tourists a year. The Worlds Largest Lava Lamp will draw from that group and others and put Soap Lake back on the map and secure the town's economic future."
More silliness inside!
Is this just silly enough to work? It reminds one of a Monty Python sketch!
Another quote as to the construction;
"Details:
The Lava Lamp is proposed to be 60+ feet high with a diameter of 18+ feet.
It is constructed of cast 4-6 inch thick reinforced glass with a structural metal base and top cap. The contents of the lamp will be similar to conventional lava lamps, which contain a combination of liquids and colored treated water.
The base will contain the electrical units that power the lamps to warm and light the contents of the glass cylinder structure.
At mid-point of the structure, where the base meets the glass cylinder, an observation platform with a catwalk surrounding the glass cylinder will be constructed with access to the platform provided by a circular stair weaving up the base from the ground. A fee will be established to access the platform, which will provide money to help finance and maintain the structure. The platform will offer views of the community and the lake.
Service and maintenance of the structure will be provided by a joint collaboration of the City of Soap Lake and a private foundation called SoLa LaLa, (Soap Lake Lava Lamp). Financing of the structure will come from numerous sources including the Economic Development Councils of the City, County, State and Federal Government, and private contributions.
The position or site of the structure will draw visitors to the very center of the town, which will help to support the businesses on Main Street and throughout the central business district including adjacent cities and towns. The structure will provide the stimulus to draw thousands of visitors and provide income and prosperity to the state, county, community and area businesses."
Naturally it has its own site,
giantlavalamp
Remember, don't shake Lava Lamps!
Note: Stupid Tards! Yah, let's put it in an intersection!!

On a serious note.... the amount of power required to heat the liquid would be enough to power a small city... something the size of.... Soap Lake City. |
