Although, I would point out that at least everybody else made a dick joke. Participate! Keeps you from looking uppity and judgmental.
You would NOT believe what they use for holy waterā¦
i live in dixon il and drive by this building every day. its the christian science reading room. from ground level you cant tell the shape. i cracked up when i saw the google photo. dixon was famous for the home town of ronny reagan and his statue on his horse and the woman who stole 50 million dollars from the city. now dixon has another thing to be proud of! a penis shaped church reading room!

I imagine out of the eight people that sat around the table when they reviewed the plans at least six saw the problem and were afraid to bring it up because number seven or eight makes a habit of shaming anyone who opens their mouth in opposition to anything.
Call it an educated guess.

Well, thatās a bit of a cock-up, isnāt it?
Or maybe the Google folks came by on a shrinkingly cold day.
As big as it is itās not surprising it takes a while to be erected.
Somewhere in Dixon, Illinois, is an architect with a juvenile sense of humor and a tremendous dislike of Christian Scientists. Iād like to buy that person a beer.

The Google Maps and Street View are actually totally bizarre. I think that there must be some warp in the space-time continuum around there ā either that, or itās a prank by Google engineers, and they didnāt mesh everything up right.
When I walk around in street view near the church, not only is the church not there ā thatās understandable, the pictures were taken at different times ā but thereās a big bridge on the street just South of the church. From the map, thereās no logical place at all where such a bridge could be. Even weirder, as I walk around or through the bridge, a single step can zoom me to a place many blocks away from the bridge. I canāt even find the bridge coming from the other side.
Iām fairly certain she was just going for the ha-ha.
Two blocks to the west (I assume), right past Monroe. Looks like a pedestrian bridge - actually, it looks like an old railroad bridge that might be used for foot traffic between a couple of wooded patches. In any case, the construction pictures are on the organizationās Facebook page, and itās pretty clear that what theyāre building is what shows up in the overhead shot.
Got it. If you drop the little guy right next to the penis to the South, you then have to actually walk East two blocks to really be at the right place, and youāll see the columned house that used to be there.
There was obviously a cock-up with the Google Car coordinates. Either that or the Christian Scientists didnāt want to be caught with their pants down and admit to their boner of a design, soā¦ no, screw it, Iām out of puns.
Christ, what anā
umm, errā¦
yeah, nevermind.
Ahhh, yes! And in a few days, when my family is gathered around the table for Thanksgiving, and I look into their smiling Asian and African and Native and Euro mix-n-match faces, I will speak of this.
And trust me. Iām going to bring it up gently. And respectfully. Reverently, even. So they donāt choke on their turkey when they guffaw. But I wonāt tell them about the Jesus-dick jokes. Because that would offend some.
would say that upside down it looks already hung out to dryā¦
Christian Science Dickson!
