Eye of Sauron appears in Illinois

Post by wayfriend »

You have to admit. This bell tower was begging for an eye. :)
No suspect in sight for Eye of Sauron prank

Image

A replica of the Eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Ring series hungs from beams on the McFarland Memorial Bell Tower early Sunday Morning.

Those responsible with positioning the Lord of the Ring's Eye of Sauron replica on the McFarland Memorial Bell Tower remain unknown, said Skip Frost, acting Assistant Chief of University Police.

"Apparently some big Lord of the Ring fans hoisted it up there," said Frost. "It's actually pretty cute." [link]

I'm guessing they just couldn't resist. Compelled you might say. But by what or whom? :-)

It's only a matter of time before the 9 who did it are found.

"hungs from beams"? Must be English majors.

How can you be so sure it's the eye of Sauron and NOT the eye of Jennron? :P

Besides...

Jennron's eyes have been seen. They are never that red.

But maybe she was really, really focused on something, like getting some ring of power back.

I love the prank. Well done!!

Perhaps true, more than ten years ago...but both laws and mores have changed.
Absent Visine, how red are they now?
