Lights, camera, pediment

amirite

...no, in fact it isn't, but the decision to initiate the thing on that particular date is likely related to its appearance of being like the famous spiraling shell design frequently invoked when talking about Fibonacci sequences in nature. Yes, this was discussed I think on the last posting about this pediment and a bunch of people whose free-time is spent picking nylon-spandex weaves from between their butt cheeks got all uppity about everything -- representations of Christianity, fucking stinky homeless people, the lack of stachoos, the causes of the split of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church and of course the fact that nautilus shells are not perfect examples of a Fibonacci sequence. Jumpin Jesus, this is why we can't have nice things!! (Or even talk about them.)

Lawyers, engineers and anal internet-posting drones -- put em all on the 3rd space ark and send em out early.

I think the commenter was trying to say hate on the fact that it's not an ostentatious Christian symbol. Perhaps it's different in the Southwest, but being a bona fide (if part-time) resident of the Midwest now, what I usually see on megachurches are giant, spot-lit crosses doing their best to blind you as you drive past them on the interstate at night.

That said, I think the nautilus pediment is something I liked better in theory than in execution. It does look kinda plastic as it stands. I guess I was envisioning something that looked like the inside of a shell - sort of pearl-y and soft, maybe with a curve to it to emulate its subject. Instead it just looks like flat blue plastic with a plastic design on it.

Oh snappeth.
