| The good news this week is that the
Glasgow Science Centre welcomed its millionth visitor - the bad news is that the tower
thing is still shut. With no sign of the landmark structure reopening
after it disobligingly started to sink into the ground a few weeks after being completed,
staff at the Centre are now pondering reassigning meaning to the structure.
Initially seen as a visual metaphor celebrating Man’s technological
aspirations, it is now thought that the tower will now remain shut - in mute testimony to
the number of times Man makes a right arse of something.
As Professor Beaker of Dundee’s Centre for The
Study of Face-Saving U-Turns explains: |
"This might work, we need to
be reminded from time to time that our race’s technological endeavours come to aught.
But we’re not alone in this, God created man as his supreme accomplishment and look
at the arse-up The Deity made of that one." It is thought that the
Centre will mount an exhibition picking up on the tits-up theme. Included will be a
selection of items bought from PoundStretcher, famous for looking the part but never
actually working.
There were plans to feature items bought from More Stores but those never even
made it out of the shoap before turning to a useless pile of plastic crud. |
