no its not green to begin with. it was brown(copper) when it was first made.
its weird, isn't it? the pyramids of giza were a platinum-white after they were done.

and yea french have their beleifs and hey we dont like that so lets just disregard everything they have in our culture.

It's green because of oxidation.

The Statue of Liberty consists of approximately 179,000 pounds of copper. Copper is a reddish-brown metal, but the Statue of Liberty is green. How is this possible?

A chemical change through the process of oxidation the answer. Oxidation is a form of corrosion that occurs when oxygen and moisture in the air attach to certain metals. There's plenty of both oxygen and moisture near the Statue of Liberty, which is made out of copper. Oxidation causes copper and copper alloys to develop a green covering called patina. The patina on copper can help slow down further oxidation or corrosion. The Statue of Liberty's rich green coloring is a trademark for the statue.

I wanted to vote "Keep it but change the torch to the middle finger" but it's not there.

/me dreams of a 150 foot tall 225 ton STFU statue

ok guys. enough of this.

The statue of liberty, if you've ever seen her is one of this countries truly awe inspiring sights. What it stands for here and what its meant to portray far outweighs where she was born.

to my eyes....just let 'em come and try to take her back!

I say we make Chirac lick all that oxidation crap off with his tongue, and keep it off.

[Bighoss]

I think we should actually take it down and then France and America should team up to make a more modern version of it for the world of Today... maybe based on a similar design like this.

Who makes a giant statue out of copper, anyway? Cheap bastards couldn't even afford some stone? I mean wtf.

[Hamma]

I think I am gonna have to agree with Hoss on this one.

Acid rain makes quick work of Stone. With all of the pollution in NYC I'm sure there is enough acid rain to make it not worth having a stone statue there.

[xuur]

if it were to be replaced, make it a 1000 foot tall holograph.


or maybe clear plastic




(BigHoss et al, I have one like that in my collection, but Hamma would have my head on a pike if I posted it. Nice one tho)

[Destroyeron]

:drool: hehe, the idiots who wanna give it back must be on crack, i mean, do you give a birthday present back?

[Fire_Monkey]
