DNA Sculpture Constructed with Shopping Carts

Posted by simoniker on Monday May 17, 2004 @09:32AM from the not-dumped-in-river dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "The U.K. supermarket chain Somerfield decided last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA in an original way. It commissioned British artist Abigail Fallis to create a sculpture of a DNA double helix made of shopping carts and to display it during the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign of 2004. The sculpture, named DNA DL90, is 31 feet high and weighs more than three tons. It is on display since April 2004 at "Sculpture at Goodwood," the 21st century British sculpture park in Surrey. This photo gallery contains several pictures of this original artwork."

In Massachusetts two guys can get tax credits and social security benefits for banging each other in the butt...

And I still can't smoke a doobie legally. WTF?

Slashdot has lost it. It amazes me what is considered news worthy.
