Cool Prank

A bronze surfer statue in San Diego was subject to a really great prank last Friday. The statue which is named "Magic Carpet Ride" has been pranked before with bras and such, but a giant great white swallowing it, very cool!

No, I don't need any geese. My mom was doing that LIKE 30 years ago with her homemakers club in Wisconsin.
