Post by: Ghandi on Monday, September 18, 2006, 10:20:28 AM: Very cool. Took me a while to figure out which one was him in the picture. :P

Post by: scottws on Monday, September 18, 2006, 10:53:46 AM: Is he even in the picture? I took it to be just a picture of the statues, not of him standing with the statues.

Post by: scottws on Monday, September 18, 2006, 11:56:22 AM: I really don't think that he is in the picture. The caption simply describes the statues, and what, was this security guard down there walking around snapping pictures? No, he was looking for the guy.

Post by: Ace_O_Spades on Monday, September 18, 2006, 01:51:30 PM: I'm glad he didn't damage any of the statues in the process. I find it pretty cool actually... Too bad he didn't make it for longer.

Post by: Quemaqua on Monday, September 18, 2006, 07:59:44 PM: Yeah, it's a cool idea. Had he damaged something I'd be pissed, but this kind of thing is always cool if you don't fuck up and break something. I love reading about these stunts.

Post by: Pugnate on Monday, September 18, 2006, 10:47:19 PM: I don't think he was in that pic either.

Post by: Ghandi on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 09:23:25 AM: Look at the guy on the left- his hand is real.

Post by: scottws on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 09:33:40 AM: Enlarge the image - no it's not.

Think about it. Why would they be down there snapping pictures when they should be looking for the guy? The answer is they weren't. This picture was taken (or pulled from an archive) so that people would know what they were talking about in the article when they were referring to the statues and the guy posing as one. Not for some where's Waldo.

Post by: Xessive on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 10:39:39 AM: Hehe that's what I thought when I looked at it the first time until Ghandi mentioned finding him in there! Still, I'd like to see him in full costume just to compare :P

Post by: gpw11 on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 01:22:26 PM: What would be really funny is if there had been some guy living there posing for like ten years, and that's him in the stock picture.
