Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral
Michael Breeden writes "Star Wars has apparently taken another step in becoming part of our national history. The Washington National Cathedral, during its expansion, has placed a sculpture of Darth Vader's head into the carvings around one of the exterior arches. This space is normally reserved for grotesques (gargoyles), and ol' Darth seems to have fit the bill. "
I am your holy father!
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
I've got Jar-Jar's head on a stake in my front lawn. Much more pleasing to the eye, imo.

Isn't there something inherently wrong with Slashdotting a webserver of the Church?
Join me, and together we'll harness the power of the slashdot, and spread 'cannot find server' errors across the galaxy.

Your servers have failed me for the LAST time...
I hear from reliable sources that it is not in fact Darth Vader. Instead, it is William Shatner in a Darth Vader mask.
Great. The Bazaar has slashdotted the Cathedral.

Heh. This article evokes some memories for me. As a previous poster mentioned, there are hordes of unique gargoyles on the National Cathedral (I had lots of time to check them out as a student on the Cathedral Close in the 90s).
By far my favorite is a gargoyle facing NCS, the Cathedral-affiliated girl's school. It's carved to resemble a constuction worker lewdly whistling at the nymphets passing by on their way to class...
Don't be too proud of this architectural terror you've constructed. The ability to carve a head in stone is insignificant next to the power of a Slashdotting.
I find your lack of bandwidth disturbing...
