A Cracking Laugh

[eldar]

So, the Tate Modern has installed a giant crack in its main hall.

It's supposed to symbolise division in modern society. Personally, since it's already started to rack up victims, I think it's a good idea for a few laughs:

• Hang around the crack, and try to stealthily shove people in.
• Cover it up with sticks and leaves, to trap the unwary.
• Turn up with a cement mixer and start filling it in, citing health and safety concerns.

Well, that's just for starters.  If anyone's bothering to read this - how about a few more suggestions?

How deep is this crack? Could we hide a tape player in there? One that screamed softly “Help, I’m trapped down this crevasse”?

Cover it up with sticks and leaves, with a bowl of birdseed on top, then hang around covertly in a coyote costume.

The article says (and this made me laugh):

According to Salcedo, the fissure is "bottomless... as deep as humanity".

However, it appears to be around three feet at its deepest point.

I didn't click on your linky so not sure if it's the same story, but apparently at the pre-opening special viewing, two people fell into it.

Now, these people went to a viewing SPECIFICALLY TO SEE THE CRACK and still fell in it. That's a whole new level of stupid, since they can't exactly claim they didn't know it was there!

I think you should hire concrete mixing lorry and fill the entire crack in with black treacle. ;)
