Balle de rugby énorme en Paris.

Carl Douglas (agfa8x)


New Zealand is building a giant rugby ball in Paris.

See, any other country in the world would get an architect to design something properly. But not NZ. No. We build a giant rugby ball. Get it? Because we play rugby lots? See? It's like an architectural reference.

What are we, a nation of twelve-year olds?

...and it's to be placed in front of the Eiffel Tower! Looks more like a big undecorated easter egg :)

They actually had the designer on tv talking about the 'designing' he did.

There are no platapuse...platapusi...silly australian animals in NZ.

We just have lots of flightless birds which can't defend themselves against anything!

But yes. Rock on FOTC!

Anyone in the states been watching the HBO shows? Are they as awesome as I'm hoping?
