Given the chance to erect a monument of something or someone, what would it be and where would you put it?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29202points) September 4th, 2011

Don’t worry about limitations, there isn’t any. Doesn’t matter if your monument is “politically incorrect”, let’s have it. Put it anywhere in the world, it’s fine. And there’s no limit in size as well so go wild if you like, as long as you believe in what it stands for. Thanks! : )

I’d make a statue for for people who died while they were bitten by mosquitoes.
I’d put it in a well circulated place so people can see it often enough.

I would erect a giant enema tube with it’s base on the floor of the House of Representatives, the bag would be in the Senate.

The effluent would be expelled in the Supreme Court.

I would erect a monument to those who have given their lives in service to others: military, civilian, anyone who qualified. They wouldn’t have had to have been killed in service, only to have given a significant portion of their life to others, in whatever capacity. I would want it to be a 100-foot high, soaring jubilation of metal and stone and crystal, built at an international crossroads of some sort, perhaps Geneva, Switzerland.

A statue of David tenant as the doctor, with his coat blowing put behind him, standing in front of his TARDIS, and make it bigger than the statue of jesus in Italy.

An erect penis situated in the grounds of a cemetery…....would sit well with all the other “stiffs!”

@HungryGuy That looks more suited for Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Maybe 100 feet tall, on the lawn of the white house?

There is that American Indian Museum in DC as well. Nice architecture btw. I was just less impressed with their initial exhibition concepts. I will always wonder if things could have turned out different for the Shawnee if they fought against the British instead.
