An engineering student at Rice University gathered a group of students the night before graduation, and picked up and turned around a statue to face the opposite direction. No machinery, no trace of how they did it. I suspect they used some scaffolding and several sets of block and tackle, but that’s a wild ass guess. The administration was pretty angry, because he wouldn’t talk, but they let him walk anyway. They just settled on using a crane to turn it back around. I never got why they didn’t just ask the engineering department for help.
