Actually, the first picture is upside down. The UBC Engineers managed to hang the Lions Gate Bridge, upside down, from the husk of a Volkswagen Beetle!

About $5k/year for 4-5 years. Supposedly they claim its worth it though.
Thats one thing that we sure don't get much at U of C... our engineers most visible activities during engg week (here its the first week back in January) is a parade through campus that typically involves disrupting people eating in the food court, and depending on the level of costume sometimes barging into classrooms in the middle of lectures. They did hang a bug from the arch thats on one of the main entrances to campus once, but that was probably 20 years ago now.

I agree with the above posters, if a couple of buddies of mine could get the "husk" (good word too!) of an old VW beetle, we could probably pull this off. Big fucking deal. Why the hell would they go all the way to San Francisco to do this stunt in past years though? Did the engineering students of SFU already have a claim on Lion's Gate? I was always thought that their placing a beetle atop the clock tower in the middle of campus was far more ingenious.
There was speculation on the radio today by a news reporter that the 9 o'clock gun in Stanley Park was vandalized by UBC Engineering students, because it was graffiti'd upon in "UBC Engineer's Red Paint". I thought it was a big leap of assumption to say that therefore it was UBC's Engineers who did it, but perhaps the reporters know something through the police that the public don't know.
UBC Engineers Strike Again!
