Question of the day

[JonW]

Ok - I’ve got an utterly useless piece of trivia for you!

It snowed today in various places - so the question is “ What is the Guinness World Record for the world’s tallest snowman?”

Mt. Everest?

Nope - neither of these are right.

That's abominable

I’d probably go and put my big foot in it anyway...!

 

[spkennyuk]

Is it a snowman or snow gender neutral person ?

I think it will be quite tall probably a Big Foot-age involved. 88 feet is my guess but only because 88 looks like two snow people.

Very good!

Good question - technically I suspect some would say it was a snow woman, but others might say it was gender neutral.

In terms of height 88ft is getting closer, but still short...

Talking of snow people. The Office of Government Commerce changed their logo a few years ago. Can you tell why ?

Can't see why they would want to change that all.. what's more natural than a snowman with an erection?

Anyway, am conscious this thread is meant to be question of the day, and it's coming upto 24 hrs.... so here are some clues:

- 13 million pounds of snow were used to build Olympia the snow woman. She was only a few feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty.

- Eyelashes were made from eight pairs of skis

- 48-ft-wide fleece hat

- 8-ft-long nose made from chicken wire and painted cheesecloth

- Lips made from five red car tires

- Arms made from two 30-ft-tall spruce trees

- 6-ft 6-in-wide snowflake pendant

- 130-ft-long scarf

- Three 5-ft-wide truck tires as buttons

The closest answer so far is 88ft, and whoever is closest at 9pm tonight “winsâ€

[JonW]

Statue of Liberty is over 300ft!

Only if you include the pedestal and the foundation.... which I wasnt!

 

[spkennyuk]

Turns out Kenny is the winner, as the answer was 122ft ( The height of the Statue of Liberty is 151 ft. from the base to the torch. With the pedestal and foundation included in the measurement, the full height is 305 ft.)
