    Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

    Hate it when that happens.

      If your iceberg lasts more than 3 days, consult a physician

        And maybe a physicist.

        They’d probably like to know. They are very kinky like that.

      My first thought was “… Again? They need some better contraceptives” but no, it’s the same one… A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

        Rural places get weird, doubly so when they got bored without the internet.

        Just ask Pennsylvania. Virginville, Two Lick Valley, Rough and Ready and so much more.

        Maybe it’s also a dutch influence…
