I would like one day to create a large ceramic or metal
sculpture and donate it, for use in public space, to a jurisdiction somewhere in the
United States. This sculpture would have the lyrics to
The Weather Girls'
It's Raining Men etched into it.
Three thousands years later, archaeologists from another planet would dig this sculpture up, and decipher the print:
"This exhibit, to your left, is a ceremonial pillar we found near the site. It appears that the hu-mons reproduced primarily by means of precipitation, and only at a specific time late at night. We gather, from these inscriptions, that this people believed that hu-mon males were created and sent down from the sky to the tune of this song from their Sirens of Fertility, the... 'Weather Children'.
Fascinating. Terrifying, but fascinating. This race had a large appetite for chemically treated foodstuffs, staring into mysterious boxes, and shiny discs with images of young girls enclosed in the casing. Research suggests that these children were subject to ritual implantation of these well-preserved synthetic globules into their chest cavities. They would then be stripped nearly naked, their teeth dyed the brightest shade of white, their faces covered in paint, so that their images were suitable for duplication on these colorful booklets. They had very limited vocabularies, indicated by the chants printed inside. 'Baby,' 'Ooh,' and 'Ba-baaay' accounted for 80% of the entire scroll, entitled 'Britney Spears 2025: I Told You, Cher, I Outlived You. Bitch. (Baby Ba-Bay Ooh Ba-baaay Hott Baby)'.
In this direction, we see countless eating utensils and bowls, made out of a curious polymer substance that has maintained its color and strength throughout the centuries, bearing symbols representing Micdonnaldes, God of the Harvest, and Coakola, God of Liquid Refreshment. We do not know if these fell out of the sky as well; perhaps only during thunderstorms.
According to these inscriptions, the downfall of this civilization happened during the reign of Emperor Hedge, who enslaved his own people, at their own expense, to emancipate those enslaved by tyrants in other kingdoms. In return he got much gratitude from his slaves and the emancipated alike. They kept their faith in Dollorr, God of Bounty, and Croodoyl, God of Energy and Transportation, atop the mythical Mount Enron. Experts speculate that these hu-mon shadows embedded in this stone pillar just west of the Crater of Lincoln came about as a result of a highly radioactive asteroid that collided with this planet many moons ago, creating an end of days for this decadent, peculiar species.
During our visit, there were many lightning storms, but none produced food or lifeforms.
The gods must have given up."
