Things about Statue of Liberty
Christmas time is the ideal time to spend at home with the family and of course the TV set is the center of attention. The Sound of Music and Home Alone have become classics. One name which pops up particularly around Christmas time is David Copperfield. Year after year he astonishes audiences with his magical performances.
This year David Copperfield made The Statue of Liberty disappear in front of a life audience, and the show will be broadcasted again at Christmas in his show called ‘The Magic Of David Copperfield.’
No camera tricks or cut-out were used during the performance, and it is a show every American should have seen. The magical performance is even listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest magical vanishing act in human history.
The Statue Of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York City is a grande neoclassical sculpture by Fredirque Bartoldi and was given to the United States as a gift from the French nation. The Statue of Liberty is the Roman goddess Libertas (the goddess of freedom). In one hand the scripture of the law (the American Declaration of Independence) and in the other the torch with the endless fire of enlightment. The Statue has become and icon for the United States and New York City in particular.
Every year during the Christmas season there are popular items that are hard to find and this year people are looking for information about about French Maid Barbie, Sunday School Barbie and Statue of Liberty Barbie.
Barbie was produced by Mattel and unfortunately the Sunday School teacher Barbie wasn’t ever released by Mattel. It seems Mattel has been interested in creating more risque dolls than actual role model Barbie dolls that would set a better example for young children.
The Million Dollar Money Drop question tonight asked which Barbie was not an actual Barbie produced by Mattel? The answer to the question was the Sunday School Barbie.
We think there should be a horror movie version released through the line. Perhaps a scream queen barbie doll!
The last question of the two hour special of “Million Dollar Money Drop” was a question that every American show know. The knowledge of the correct answer shows our allegiance to this great nation and is required knowledge for ever immigrant to know.
Shockingly the two bumbling contestants on the last question of the evening deservingly lost their new found riches on the Statue of Liberty. The question was which hand does the statue of liberty hold the torch? While every American only has two hand, this should have been a serious no-brainer.
The right hand holds the torch, the left hand holds the book and the crown is on top of her head – just in case you were wondering.
Even if you have never seen the Statue of Liberty in person it is an American icon of great proportions. Seeing it in person is extraordinary as well. It is a symbol of our freedom and a beauty of our nation. So imagine out surprise that not only does the two competitors, but also much of the Internet doesn’t know the answer to this simple question.
It really goes to show what people take for granted in the United States. Comfortable in their little tiny villages and unwilling to step out and see how the world works or recognize the sacrifices made for our great land they live in the privilege. Yes, we are talking about anyone who couldn’t easily visualize this statue and give an answer – if you are ill or working, you are excused.
