If they did do a Mount Rushmore though, then there'd have to be three other faces that encapsulated this great country.

I nominate Piers Morgan as the second face. yes

Or James Corden.

I think chalk cliffs like those at Dover would erode too fast for a Mt Rushmore type sculpture.

Sorry to be a downer but you really have to think these things through Paxoed

No, I had thought about that ACKSHULLY! box

Mr. Smart Alec. Colbert

The idea is that the faces erode away allowing us to remind ourselves that these people are actually dead and that, we too, will someday crumble into the roiling depths of oblivion.

It'll be properly cheerful and all philophisical like that.

Especially if the sculptors can create another layer behind the initial facade that, when the faces erode, turn into all skellington faces. banana bones
