From the BBC Website:
Quote: Volunteers have started work to restore Dorset's Cerne Abbas chalk giant to its former glory.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/7618064.stm Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield; Learn from the beasts the physic of the field; The arts of building from the bee receive; Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave. (Alexander Pope - Essay on Man)

I saw this on the news earlier tonight...it looks like a back-breaking task, but it will be so worth it. They have only done about a third so far (I think) and already he's looking better.

Did anyone hear about the drawing of Bart Simpson that was next to him? I also heard that a pagan had made complaints that it was inconsiderate to our religion. For instance, what if they put Bart on a cross as part of a movie promotion? Won't we hear it from Pat Robertson, et al.?

Thanks Rik.... I saw this too. It's nice that they're giving him make over ~ it's well needed as he was looking rather shabby.

Yeah ~ I remember this Mystress, wasn't it some silly prank to promote the Simpsons movie?
