I would love to see how that person will be painted blue! :) Ha ha Jimy, this would really be funny. I would love to see how that person will be painted blue! :)

Look who remove it and paint him blue. Do another sculpture. Look who remove it and paint him blue.

I am wondering why someone would remove such a abstract creation! It doesn't spoil anyone's emotions / religious beliefs and it looks different from the crowd too. If given a chance, I would reinstall this sculpture. I found the sculpture quite cool, un-traditional, and really cute. I am wondering why someone would remove such a abstract creation!

Yes, but as I’ve said — that’s because we have a guard post set up whenever the giant pink tie is in the public. I think it was destroyed (possibly multiple times) in the past.

Some crazy students uprooted a public phone booth and took it away. I am shocked to learn that such habits are also practiced in the Western world.

Each year, during the frosh week, the Math faculty puts together a 24/7 guard post (I am not making this up), to protect the giant pink tie (faculty symbol) from various attacks. The other symbol -- a "natural log" has been stolen a while ago. And now this... @James -- heh, I see what you've done there. Though Engineers get a few shiny iMacs as well. They are located in the Environmental building though ;) @Adam — you are right, CSers are taking a lot of abuse.

They're always stealing stuff / moving stuff at Guelph. Its time for the Comp Sci students to strike back! Ok, I had to get that off my chest. That sucks, it looks like a nice sculpture.
