Here's a fascinating note about the world record DNC sign we put up on the mountain. I think a lot of people still don't comprehend the size of our sign, so I thought I might share how my friend Will (GodsFreeWill) recently compared it to a couple things you're familiar with.
Now, what's a famous big sign? The "HOLLYWOOD" sign in California is recognizable to people around the world. Obviously, that's bigger than our recent sign... How big is that sign?
The letters in the Hollywood sign are 45 feet tall. That is about half the size of the lower-case letters in the DNC Sheets of Shame sign.
Well, how tall was the sign overall? Would you believe it was almost as tall as . . . the Statue of Liberty? Surely not, right? How tall is the Statue of Liberty, from the dirt to the tip of the flame? It is 305 feet. Much taller than our sign, which was a mere.... 530 feet tall! Whoa! The DNC Sheets of Shame sign was over 200 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty!
How wide was our sign? Now, I happen to have read recently that the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall. I'll cut to the chase -- the DNC "monument" was 666 feet wide, over 100 feet wider than the Washington Monument is tall!
Fifty-three segments combined to total almost 2,700 lbs, approximately 2,900 sheets and 4 miles of seams done on just 10 sewing machines working three shifts a day.
Thanks to GodsFreeWill for providing these stats! (Which I did verify, btw!) Incredible! :up:
