Post by: es-jay on July 18, 2007, 11:37:28 AM: the Giant is from Chalk

"Many believe the ancient chalk outline of the naked, sexually aroused giant to be a symbol of ancient spirituality.

Many couples also believe the 180ft carving aids fertility. "

Homer has been painted i believe.

Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 18, 2007, 11:55:55 AM: Really? It's chalk? Then once again, how does it stay?

Show me where the article explains it.

Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 18, 2007, 11:59:20 AM: Well, the article says it's chalk...I'm wondering how the rain doesn't wash it away and/or how new grass doesn't grow.

The painted Simpsons character has been painted with water-based biodegradable paint which will wash away as soon as it rains.

Giant:

Since then he has always been visible, receiving regular grass trimming and a full re-chalking every 25 years.

Ann Bryn-Evans, joint Wessex district manager for The Pagan Federation, said: "We were hoping for some dry weather but I think I have changed my mind.

"We'll be doing some rain magic to bring the rain and wash it away."
It's their fucking fault then!
