I agree. And I'm sure it did, especially when the sculpture was turned so that the legs were hanging off the edge out over the street.

I think the joke is that anybody fell for the post! It's a Roanoke discussion forum, after all; anyone familiar with local happenings would know it was a joke. Kind of like the guy who mails a letter to the editor saying he's having chest pains...

actually, tragedy is a genre of literature, it is a story concerned with someone of high birth, (king, queen, prince, princess et al) who is brought down to earth, rudely, (Hamlet, King Lear, MacBeth) . If it is a story about a normal human being, it is just "sad", or "bad luck" please choose your terminology more carefully.

I have driven past the museum in the past month or so, and I never saw the statue before then. Does anyone know who the artist is? It looks like a Seward Johnson piece (if anyone is a fan of his), but obviously I am not sure.
