Right now I am 12 years old. When i'm old enough to go to Stanford, i'm going to find that statue and remember how I saw a video on this 8 years ago.

@therealdrbyte The first sentence Bernard Barryte says is, "Today we welcome back Auguste Rodin's Thinker." Auguste Rodin is the sculptor of "The Thinker".

[tranquilliasialonda]

where's the original?

[tantzer]

@NolenPutnam You can visit Stanford over the summer, and then you can remember that you saw a video on this six months prior.

Why did he make 22 copies of this?

[NolenPutnam]

@fidler12 yeah!

[pgunn01]

As good as the intuition is that art should move around so more people have a chance to see it, I wonder if it's worth the risk to move priceless works like this.

@NolenPutnam Nice goal, but don't you mean 6 years from now. It can't be that hard to find:)
