Was on a business trip and got to see a 30 foot tall eyeball. Thing was kept in place with some old boards otherwise it would have rolled into the road.
Interesting stuff.

Am I the only one worried by this?
No, you are not the only one... I too am worried.
30' tall eyeball? I think someone who I will not name at this time, has been playing with the jimson weed (datura, moonflower, loco weed...), the combination of several psychotropic compounds in very inconsistent ammounts make for some amazing halucenations, e.g. being attacked by little people, conversing with long lost and non-existant friend.... and now 30 foot tall eyeballs.
I know there are a lot of strange things in Minnesota, so where is this eyeball and what is it for?

Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.

There is a great FARSIDE cartoon about those mirrors on the doors of cars that say "Objects in this mirror are closer than they appear"
I found it, just scroll down the nice lady's page about a third of the way and you'll see the cartoon.

TranswardSparta, Wisconsin: 30-Foot-Tall Eyeball
Artist's big sculpture based on his own veiny orb. The eye spent time in Chicago's Pritzker Park until 2010, now outside F.A.S.T. in Sparta until it finds a welcoming socket.

Regarding the 30 foot tall giant eye, remember that no matter how intimidating it may be, you can see it before it sees you.

>>A thirty foot eyeball that creeps people out or
>>a full sized replica of Michelangelo's David without a fig leaf over the genitals?
>>Or the SIGN IN JIMMY BRESLIN's FRONT YARD:
http://52xxi.blogspot.com/2011/10/si...ront-yard.html
t was about three feet high and five feet wide and it was in
three bright colors and it read real good. On the top, in two lines
of big red upper-case letters, the sign said:
SORRY TO MAKE YOU LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TIRED YOU PEOPLE GET MOVING YOUR LIPS WHEN YOU READ
Underneath this, in smaller, but still real big blue letters, was a line which said: PEOPLE I’M NOT TALKING TO THIS YEAR.
The line was centered. Right under it, in neat columns, like a service honor roll, was the name of everybody who lives on my block. Everybody. All the couples, all the mothers-in-law, and all the kids. Every single person alive on my block had his name printed on that sign by Walter, from the Dazzle Sign Painting Company. And at the end of the list of names, I had Walter put "Dugan" for the bread man and "Stylon" for the dry-cleaning guy and "Borden’s" for the fat milkman I don’t like.
The best was at the bottom. In clear orange italics, the little passage said: "I also am announcing a special service for people who ring my bell to tell me what my children did. This service includes a man who answers the doorbell. Why don’t you come and ring my bell and see what happens to you?"

That 52xxi site throws an outgoing comm warning in Malwarebytes, and is marked potentially malicious.
Just so you know...
Thanks, I didn't know that.

Should we plan a pilgrimage to the giant eyeball for the MoM??? We could all pose in front of it for a photo to scare off trolls from the Archive.....
Nature loves variety. Unfortunately, society hates it.
YES! We MUST go to pay homage to the giant eyeball!
