AMOS STATUE SECOND BUILDING TO BE SEEN FROM THE MOON The outsize statue of Amos that is planned to be erected in New York will traceably be the second building to be seen from the moon. It is expected to be a monumental touristic highlight and, for a multitude of religious adherents, will serve as a goal of pilgrimage. "It is a condigning hommage to the greatest artist of our time and will be Americas contribution to international understanding." states Mike Bloomberg. The concept - that the canadian architects Smith & Wagner are responsible for - envisions a huge accessible torso. True to the original on the outside the colossus is housing various malls, an amusement park, several concert halls, sport facilities, schools and 120 levels of office space. Despite, it is not only a sake. Currently the project is put on ice due to numerous citizens inititatives that fear with the erection of the AMOS statue the major part of Manhattan could be eclipsed. "Heating and electricity costs will multiply - to say nothing of the loss of quality of life", complains Lisa Raybird living in the afflicted area. "We're already negotiating and are confident that our plan to equip those areas with energy saving-lamps for compensation will lead to an agreement very soon." says Bloomberg. Besides, scientists fear that the statue could entail a stellar imbalance. Jonathan Shaw, president of the Institute for Astronomics in Boston: "Due to the edification of that monstrous statue the gravitational force of the earth could be significantly altered which can cause the moon to assume a spiral-shaped orbit heading for an inevitable collision with our planet. Additionally, with the earth rotation slowed down even the day-night cycle could be affected. We might have to put up with the fact that one day could have up to 25 hours."
