The sculpture — which cost $750,000 — sent more than a dozen people to the hospital due to serious health complications... Several people suffered severe allergic reactions to cedar dust the sculpture constantly shed, and a dozen workers were hospitalized... “One employee required an 11-day hospital stay and none have been able to return to work at the new field office.”

Satire site?

The sentence would mean the sculpture gained intelligence and selected the one person to make sick. Why it’d think the nurse would be a threat is open to conjecture.

oops! you’re right.

my bad.

[Duchess47]

My thought exactly. Probably would have given it away for firewood.

It was in the original Star Trek but it was painted blue then...

[Duchess47]

That makes more sense than anything else.

[Daffynition]

Burn it in the wood stove for some BTUs

Oxymoron’s for the day

Government - Art

Military - Intelligence

They probably could have recovered about $200 a cord with a Craigslist ad...

“you break it down and haul it away”

[The Mayor]

Why on earth did we spend so much money to make an office so luxurious? What crap.

[Duchess47]

And that’s a lot of cords from the looks of it.

Give it a couple coats of clear coat. It will be fine.

750k? What a waste!

Hell, I’d only charge 1/2 that and give them one of those glass bowls with marbles and sticks you see at the Dr.’s office.

[time4good]

HA! I remember that episode when I was a boy! Scared the poop out of me. What was the title?

[TigersEye]

The Doomsday Machine!

[TigersEye]

15 to 20 would be my guess. Better than paying for storage.

Where’s the EPA when you actually need them?
This should have been discussed when she submitted the plan for her project. Even when not rooted into the ground, wood is not a static material like plastic or acrylic. Wood continues to develop and change long after all the resin seems to have dried up.

[DUMBGRUNT]

Give it a couple coats of clear coat.

They might need the artist approval to modify the work?
