Restoring that Beautiful Copper Tone

Why don't we charter a C-130 to dump a few million gallons of Tarn-X on the Statue of Liberty? Think of all the shiny copper goodness.

And it would only cost $480 million.*


*($5.00/12 oz. Tarn-X)(8 oz. Tarn-X/ft.²)(144M ft.²) + ($4600/hour C-130)(1 hour C-130)
= ($66.67/gal. Tarn-X)(7.2M gal. Tarn-X) + $4600
= $480M + $4600
= $480M

Hmm. i think becuase you'd need trained junebugs on the statue to rub in that tarn-x a little. Takes a little elbow grease...

I have to say that I'm a little concerned about this desire for making things shiny and new as they were before. I feels very... plastic surgery. I mean, when will we learn to appreciate a little rust on a girl and allow her to age gracefully without implants or Tarn-X? What is prompting the makeover? Did Lady Liberty's husband leave her for a smaller trophy?

Damn, I slay me.

Well, there are several smaller Lady Libery replicas scattered around the world, so that very well could be the case!
