  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

It's not bad for being done by students with only a month to do it, while also have school. But that... good lord that is impressive.

[–]Companda311 2 points3 points ago

Except that was probably made by a professional, OP was made by a bunch of drunk college kids :p

Edit: Upon further review that is an impressive sculpture. I wonder if they had some sort of choir on the steps in front of it?

Winter Carnival eh? Probably what I miss most about Tech. Those sculptures are pretty damn impressive. Last year I was there someone made a whole Futurama scene that was pretty amazing, people-mover tubes and all.

[–]blzngwntr 36 points37 points ago

huge upvotes for Tech!

[–]derkajihad 25 points26 points ago

Probably what I miss most about Tech.

What else is there to miss? -40C weather? Snow in May? Lack of women?

[–]Tahrok 21 points22 points ago

Michigan Tech, where the men are men and so are the women.

[–]MagicMarker11 3 points4 points ago

My favorite has to be "Tech women are husky!" which is an awful thing to say about a person and probably makes me an awful person. Especially considering my quite-slender cousin-in-law goes there.

[–]derkajihad -1 points0 points ago

... and the sheep are scared.

[–]bpackard 0 points1 point ago

I love how every Tech Alumn has this ingrained in their heads.

Tundra Wookies!

[–]YouMadSnarf 1 point2 points ago

Women a.k.a snow cows. They are a wild and rare beast to tame in this tundra of an area.

[–]TheAllBeing 1 point2 points ago

It really was a gay hockey player's paradise. I miss college.

[–]iRyguy33 0 points1 point ago

The hockey? Err... Broomball? And... Uh... Snow?

[–]wtfblue 0 points1 point ago

I actually did enjoy the weather most of the time, yes, haha.

[–]xtelosx -3 points-2 points ago

It actually rarely gets below 10F there, thank you lake effect. The rest of your assertions are correct.

Edit: exaggerated changed 20F to 10F. I certainly wouldn't call below 10 common at least while I was there.

[–]Matub 9 points10 points ago

I'm calling shenanigans on that. My freshman year it got down to -30F. The state of Michigan told the school it was legally too cold to hold classes.

[–]NoBrakes58 7 points8 points ago

Almost had that happen last year, too. And I've definitely had broomball class called for being below -20.

[–]epalla 4 points5 points ago

broomball class

yeah. Tech was worth it.

[–]Matub 4 points5 points ago

I fuckin miss broomball. The company I work for gets hardcore into intramural sports, but no one wants to start a broomball league with me. Feels bad, man.

[–]xtelosx 2 points3 points ago

Look for a local bar league. I've been playing on one since leaving tech. Rules are a bit different but it is just as fun.

[–]armousse 2 points3 points ago

Jenny Granholm's red phone rings. "Hello?" "Michigan Tech is trying to hold classes" "STOP THEM NOW!!" I call shenanigans...

Dude did you know if your roommate kills themselves you get all A's?

Its also against the rules to play another one bites the dust.

The record low for Houghton, Michigan is -26 degrees farenheit http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/49931

[–]a_leon 1 point2 points ago

You don't get all A's if your roommate kills themself, I don't know where the idea of this came from...but it just isn't the case.

[–]iRyguy33 0 points1 point ago

I've heard that your grades get frozen where they are so they can't go down, but you can raise them if you end up still attending classes.

[–]Matub 1 point2 points ago

My bad, I forgot to say "-30F after the wind chill". In this situation, a person can develop frostbite in exposed skin in <10 minutes.

This was the day that Route 66 on the 3rd floor of DHH flooded back in 07.

[–]armousse -1 points0 points ago

what room were you in? I was room 342. If you heard a rumor about some kid taking a shit when the ceiling collapsed it was about me!

[–]Matub 0 points1 point ago

You were in The Back 40? I can't remember my room number, but I was right next to the RA. So I was across from the bathroom and down one (away from your room).

I didn't hear about you taking a crap, but Jorge was taking a shower when it collapsed and he ran screaming, naked, through the hallway. Good times...good times.

[–]armousse 0 points1 point ago

Jorge also pooped himself in the hallway as I recall...

I was in the Back 40! I didn't think anyone recognized us except for ourselves and Phelps. Good Times. If I saw you i'm sure i'd know exactly who you were.

[–]PizzaGood 3 points4 points ago

This must be a new thing. It got down to 0*F for days in a row on a regular basis when I was there (in the 80s). One time it was -40 for 4 days straight. I had to bundle up in full balaclava/wool socks/ski gloves to just go 500 feet to my car in the lot and get something out of it.

I think this historical record shoots "rarely gets below 20" right out of the water and it's for 1993 to 2004 http://weather-warehouse.com/WeatherHistory/PastWeatherData_HoughtonMtu_Houghton_MI_January.html

[–]derkajihad 4 points5 points ago

I remember my eyelashes freezing together. I had to take off my gloves, warm my eyes with my fingers and repeat every 10 minutes.

[–]xtelosx 0 points1 point ago

Ok I stretched it a bit but compared to where I'm from where entire months will be below 0F Houghton is tropical. From your own link it never even gets to the -40C on the extremes. I'll revise my 20F statement to be 10F.

The years I was there 2004-2008 were much warmer. We did have 1 really cold week that I can remember but other than that 10-20 and snowing was the norm.

[–]PizzaGood 1 point2 points ago

Its true that the usual is for the temps to be in the teens. You can pretty much count on 14 to 18 degrees most days during the colder parts of the winter. Sometimes it'll spike up (the worst was one year when we had 40 degree days starting Thursday of Winter Carnival), some days it'll drop way down below zero.

[–]flipperb -1 points0 points ago

Um, I'm pretty sure you don't know what the hell you're talking about. There were weeks straight where it got below 20F while I was a student there.

[–]flipperb 16 points17 points ago

What I miss is walking around at Michigan Tech and getting to see people drinking Jack Daniels straight out of a red gasoline container with the yellow tube while complaining about how the kids he bought alcohol for ran off without paying him.

[–]exyis 10 points11 points ago

[–]flipperb 8 points9 points ago

Yes! I .... wow ... how .... do I want to know?

[–]pyroman09 4 points5 points ago

Engineers.

[–]merican_atheist 5 points6 points ago

[–]RedGoatSurprise 0 points1 point ago

I like this picture because it's taken right in the middle of campus.

[–]4shotsshort 3 points4 points ago

Local here. I miss being home.

[–]PizzaGood 3 points4 points ago

I really need to get up there during Carny sometime. We go up every summer but I haven't been to carny for decades now.

[–]PretentiousPessimist 3 points4 points ago

I just moved from Houghton to Houston...it's amazing how big of a difference a few letters make.

[–]a_point_to_be_made 2 points3 points ago

Sad thing is that Delta Sigs never win it. Phi ti's have this thing on lock ever year. Their Super Mario world statue- Superb.

(Delta sigs also made the Futurama Statue that lost out to Phi Ti's MIB statue).

[–]s00pery00per 6 points7 points ago

Phi Tau

[–]Festeroo4Life 5 points6 points ago

That's because Phi Tau's statue is always better.

[–]pyroman09 2 points3 points ago

Delt Sigs will have a decent amount of man power this year, as they have a very large pledge class this semester. I'm expecting big and beautiful things this February.

[–]scorpaznatica 1 point2 points ago

Yet they both end up losing carnival overall to SigEps.

[–]wastegem 0 points1 point ago

It's because the Sig Eps have guys (including me) who aren't in the Fraternity helping out good friends.

[–]fishisagod 0 points1 point ago

WOO! They get old though. I live in Houghton and the only cool thing other than these sculptures is the hockey.

[–]KISawyer 27 points28 points ago

This is from Michigan Tech University's 2005 Winter Carnival. The crusty crab is just to the right of this picture. The ice windows were the best part. Patrick's rock is to the left.

[–]IceRay42 4 points5 points ago

The theme was cartoons that year right? Because if someone wants to hand off cred to that thing as the best ever when Wads slaved over that massive Aladdin palace sculpture, I'm gonna have to lay down the law.

[–]hockeytownwest 0 points1 point ago

The theme was Under the Sea that year, as I'm pretty sure that was the same year as the 28' tall gate to Atlantis

[–]epalla 3 points4 points ago

This picture is clearly not taken at the prime for the statue either. The only fair time to take pictures is immediately after the overnighter when they're nice and ironed and glossy.

[–]i_forget_my_userids 2 points3 points ago

Oh, so this is older than reddit. Nice.

[–]mggleaso 11 points12 points ago

i knew this was tech! here's a little skit by comedian John Oliver on the Michigan Tech snow sculptures and the UP. http://comedians.jokes.com/john-oliver/videos/john-oliver---exactly-where-i-need-to-be

The first picture from your album has was a snow sculpture a Michigan Tech a few years back. I'll see if I can find a picture, it was impressive.

[–]nonotmenever 1 point2 points ago

I cannot believe I had to scroll down half the thread to find these.

[–]Spanishsoul 1 point2 points ago

I made a snow Sphinx with some friends once in the snowy wine hills of Italy. It was pretty terrible but we convinced ourselves it was worth the effort.

We set out to build the entire Giza Plateau but didnt have the right tools to fine tune the pyramids - they just looked like giant snowballs. =/

Wow, that looks like it was taken during Winter Carnival at Michigan Tech sometime within the last few years. I must walk by that spot at least three times every day on my way to class.

Why coolest "ever"? Have you honestly compared this to even a fraction of the snow sculpture samples out there? What is with the "ever" all over the place?

[–]vv0lf[S] 0 points1 point ago

You're taking that to literally. Of course i haven't set out to compare it to other snow sculptures, it's just my favourite out of what I've seen so far in life.
