"I wouldn't want anything that would make Abraham Lincoln look ridiculous," she said. "Done correctly, done tastefully, it could bring a lot of people in."

Lincoln, IL wants to erect an enormous statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Worth clicking for the artist's rendering alone. Wow.

Um, is he drinking coffee?

That's the stuff my bad dreams are made out of. :)

The article mentioned he was christening the town with watermelon juice. It then doesn't explain what that means at all, as if this is some famous story I was supposed to have learned in grade school. Weird weird weird!

*laugh*

It surely isn't a story I remember learning about in grade school!

Will he also spit watermelon seeds at people passing by?

Think of the potential -- watermelon eating contests at the base of the statue! Think of the sheer stickiness of it all!

Definately strange.

Since they're playing up the amusement park aspect of this, perhaps they will rig up the statue so it randomly spits seeds. As tall as he is, he should be able to hit someone several blocks away I figure!
