Fauxhenge
Following up on Gaius' story about a replica Stonehenge in Australia, all I can say why go Down Under when you can just go to Texas?
This great American road trip destination improves upon the original by also being the site of the following:
This comes in handy because you weren't really gonna make it to Easter Island this year, now were you?

So…where exactly is it in Texas?

I suppose that someone will see these pictures, decide that their religion has been denigrated (making it a "hate crime"), and sue.
Or maybe they will claim that Fauxhenge causes global warming. Or deforestation (where are all the trees?).
But whom to sue? Never sue anyone without gobs of money!
I have it! Sue Big Oil! These pictures were taken in Texas, right? Texas is famous for being the headquarters of Big Oil, yes?

Sam: This is near Kerrville, Texas, in the Texas hill country not far from Austin or San Antonio.
Mwalimu: I get the feeling the existence of Fauxhenge owes more to rebar and Shiner Bock beer than anything else. We gotta sue those responsible.

Cadillac Ranch… and now this? I have misunderestimated the artistic and aesthetic brilliance of the Lone Star State. Rich, maybe it is in the Shiner Bock. Good stuff, that.

This one was built as a memorial to those who died in WWI.
