Obleisk for Pyramids
This article appeared after Egypt failed to protect a bunch of Christian martyr Egyptian citizens then acted like it was a big WHOOPS!!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20110107/sc_livescience/egyptthreatensremovalofancientcentralparkobelisk
To which I offer to write Mayor Bloombie's retort:
Dear Egyptian Antiquities Dude:
We have been taking marvelous care of your Obelisk but if you really want it back I propose that you give us something we built in return. New York has the largest population of Jewish people outside Israel and we built the Pyramids -with our bare hands in back-breaking heat. Our Ancestors actually formed the bricks with sand and straw, with our bare hands. You guys were apparently not too nice to us in the process, hence we bolted out when a pillar of fire appeared by night and a cloud in the day and an old guy named Moses convinced us all we could walk through water. If you think that is strange, wait till we tell you about the guy who hid out in your country for a time as a child, could actually walk on water, and later was raised from the dead that about two billion people now follow.
I am sure that we can suitably accommodate a spot for all the pyramids that we made. I am thinking the Adirondacks. They would make nice ski slopes if we pound some artificial snow in them. Or- we could use them to ground bridges in our next infrastructure project. Or- we could put one in ground Zero just to remind us of how much you love us.
So, let me know if you are game and we can do a swap.
Peace Out.
