Sculpted 66-pound jubs survive lightning blast, 26ft drop

Lightning has struck a stone sculpture of the goddess Venus and removed her breasts... But in a stroke of divine intervention, the giant stone jubs were saved, despite a 26ft drop. Sculptor Tom Findlay told the NT News that despite the statue's body being destroyed and the 30kg (66lb) breasts being 8m (26ft) above ground, …

Re: Is it wrong...

There are pictures if you follow the link to the (magnificent) NT News site.

It's not wrong, you'd just look a tit.

Re: Is it wrong...

Yes, because it happened in Darwin which means it is drunken delusional bullshit.

In the natural threats to ones' life in Darwin, you seem to have overlooked the massive lizard in the photo in the article referenced.

[FartingHippo]

Some sort of metallic mesh...

...shaped in the form of a brassiere would seem to be the order of the day. I think Madonna has one.

[Anonymous Coward]

Only in Australia would you...

...get the first paragraph of a news item with the words 'blasts the tits off'

[Anigel]

Pictures or it didn't happen

Venus dropped a BooB

I guess she needs to see a plastic surgeon now.

[Anonymous Coward]

Bootnotes spelled wrong.

Shouldn't that be Boobnotes?

[Khaptain]

Forget the mammaries

Why is there a "big" lizard at the statue base ?

[leeCh]

Well it was Finlay's

This is the same stonemasonry business that has a prominent sign you can see from the main road that says: "Get stoned with Tom".

Ode to the dropped boobies

There was a stone lady called Venus

Who suffered a mishap so haenous.

For quick as a flash

Her boobs dropped with a crash

And squashed young David's wee penis.

[Arachnoid]

Venus a veritable queen with out a p****s

A Boob fell off her rack

Its lucky it didn't fall in a crack

Never mind, Ill volunteer to stick it back

[taxman]

I wonder

how long it takes to think 'why wasn't he holding the other one?'.

But the comment on the comment about mounting them.....sheer joy!

"Everything disintegrated but the breasts - all that's left is what's under her hips," [Mr Finlay] added.

Her breasts were under her hips ?... is that typical of goddesses (or Australian women) ?

[FozzyBear]

Her breasts were under her hips ?.

30Kg Saggy boobs, Hmm, this is a picture i can do without seeing

[Field Marshal Von Krakenfart]

Ooooooo....

I must repost this on titer... eh twiter.

Maybe Tom Finlay should have given his statue of Venus a big lightning rod.

Seems ample mammary glands are the norm in the out-back (or should that be the out-front), as the ntnews also reported that Alice Springs topped a 42.7C-cup, while Kintore and Yulara hit a 45C-cup.
