Small towns in Canada – mostly on the prairies, have erected giant statues to all sorts of things: “giant deer antlers, a giant turtle, a giant mushroom, giant wheat sheaves, a giant space ship like Star Trek’s USS Enterprise at a town called Vulcan, and the giant Happy Rock – a slab of rock with a happy face painted on it.” There are about 220 of them across the country. “It’s an embarrassment to some of the communities, but at the same time it attracts attention.” – Chicago Tribune (Reuters)
