    Let's all show our appreciation for the Pomodoro sculpture in this thread.

    Well I'm sure you don't mind that I cleared up the title of the thread slightly. :rolleyes:

    It is awful when people are purposefully misled.

    I think they ruined it with all these "do not climb" and all those hideous anti skateboarding metal edges they have sticking all out of it. I don't think the damage done by any amount of "climbing" could ever be as damaging to the aesthetic qaulities of the sculpture as these new modifications have been. I even find it repulsive to look at (well maybe not "repulsive") these days. The ironing!

    The reflection in the ball. You can clearly see a guy lying on the ground.

    I saw the dude alright, but he could have been sitting and leaning back. Thats why I asked in the first place.

    I thought there was something blatently obvious that I was missing.

    Sat down ;)

    Though with my new lens don't have to muddy my trousers anymore :D

    And I'll have to take another photo of the "cleaned up" spinning ball.

    edit: Oh and as a tip if you really have to lie down face flat on the ground - bring a binliner as a cover.

    I saw it spinning today and then later in the day not spinning. Do you have to push it or does it just spin by itself?!

    You're not all that bad at taking photos (I've looked though your trinity archive.)

    Saw it this morning, it wasn't spinning, then some guy tentatively walked up to it and gave it a little push....

    My guess is, that if you have to go up to it and push it to make it spin, you probably should not be pushing it. Not that it would do any harm or anything, but I could imagine a security coming at you, waving a rolling-pin, screaming to get away from the sculpture...

    Anyone know if they plan motorizing it anytime soon?

    I'm not sure. This appears to show someone doing it in an official capacity:

    Ohh... But I somehow doubt the fun police would let you do it just cause "there's a photo of someone doing it online and the Provost is there"..

    I'd say she was thrilled at the idea of having to give a demo for all present.

    She probably did it when everyone turned away. Looks like she's preparing to run as she's pushing it!


    Someone should stick a "spin me" sticker on it or something. At least then if you get caught spinning it when you aren't supposed to, you can just blame the sticker.

    Don't be absurd. I'm sure Boston is an outstanding gentleman. I was merely praising him for his post - is intelligence now considered an insult on boards?
