It's possible he was just doing his bit for global warming :DL

Hey, you know what doesn't get struck by lightning and burn up if you spend a quarter of a million dollars on it? About a quarter of a million other things they could've spent that money on that might've actually put food in an empty stomach or shoes on a poor kid's feet. :nope:

:up::up::up: :salute:


And this : Neu said there were lightning resistors and grounding rods in place around the statue and amphitheater, but they failed to divert the bolt.

Makes you wonder :hmmm:

What would have happened if instead of a styrofoam Jesus, they had built a giant plastic golden cow? :hmmm:

oh god...you're joking right ?

If I was gonna make a statue of Jesus, I would first get a bowl and put a sign on it that says, This is jesus, he saves, give him money! He will save you too!

Not to get to technical but there is no such thing as a 'lightning resistor' and they dont 'divert' bolts rather the system is supposed to provide a safe path to ground for a strike as opposed to the structural elements of a building.

One thing is certain about lightning protection systems if nature can find a fault in the system she will ;)

I design LP systems as a professional so if you really want to know about them I'm the guy to ask.

ps; Did you know that lightning actually travels from the ground up to the cloud and not the other way around :know:

If I'd built a gigantic Jesus, I would have made a full figure concrete statue with rockets in the feet. Scare the hell out of those aliens for sure when they find him floating around in the depths of space with his huge arms outstretched. :yep:



Ooooh no!
They say he's gonna go,
Go go precast Jesus!
Wooo-ooee-ooee-oooo

No, he's not. He's Castout, and he's cool with me. ;)

Yea, and he in a financial genious also.:har: He can make thousands of dollars in one day, or millions If he runs a program on the "old folks" channels.

good riddance. 75% of the people around there said it was ugly and bad for that area.

Perhaps he meant a lighting arrester instead of resistor?
