This would be a campaign to 3d print weatherproof, classical-style
statues of a diverse spectrum of not-so-famous people and place
them strategically around cities for instance Washington, D.C. where
there are a lot of centrally placed statues to usually old white
military-style men.
So if
there is a 3x life-size statue of Grorge Washington on a horse at
the center of a traffic circle with a lot of bushes in it, then you
could place a 2x statue of Aloysius Washington, George's 2nd cousin
once removed, in the bushes around the circle, and maybe set back
about 15 feet into a copse of trees outside the circle you could place
a statue of Moses the Gardner at the estate of Aloysius, and then
halfway down the block next to a police call box you could have a
statue of Emma Auchengurtis who worked at the Aloysius estate for
a few months when she arrived to DC from Texas but then lost the
job and ended up becoming an acountant, etc.

I have a music book, edited by Alfred Einstein. |

[+] any attempt to make future historians have to work for their money. |
|
| |
They already sort-of do things like this, but out of stone, in
cemeteries. |
|
| |
Almost as silly and useless as the memorials we already have. |
|
| |
One for Robert the Impaler. |

"In recognition of Bob, who did, y'know, stuff, and was nice n'all" |
|

+ I've always wanted a [UnaBubba] garden gnome... |
|
| |
One for Steve P. Christ? who, to be fair to the Romans came
to admit that he had a good crucifying coming... |
|
| |
Not to mention the Virgin Tiffany. |

There is a literary pendant to this idea: Giuseppe Pontiggia, Vite di uomini non illustri |

// I have a music book, edited by Alfred Einstein //
...who was a illustrious music critic and historian, in his time far better known to the cultural public than Albert. |
|
| |
A memorial to Tony Blair would be delightful. |
|
| |
//in his time far better known to the cultural public
than Albert.// Really? In his heyday, Albert Einstein
was an international celebrity, and his findings (and
experimental confirmation of some of his predictions)
were front-page stories on most of the world's press. |
|
| |
Yes, but what's he done recently, eh ? |
|
| |
//and experimental confirmation of some of his
predictions// |
|
| |
That's an inappropriately flippant way of talking about the
er.... rapid end to the war in the Pacific. |
|
| |
I was thinking more about the deflection of starlight
observed during the 1919 eclipse. But some of his
later ideas did indeed attract considerable attention. |
|
| |
I use the Halfbakery for this purpose. |
