World's Largest Beaver

No, it doesn't belong to Chelsea Handler or Madonna! (Speaking of which, Handler's book My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands is a must-read!)

According to its Facebook fan club page, this "magnificent Beaver Sculpture arrived at it's [sic] new home right along side [sic] Highway 43 in Beaverlodge, Alberta" on July 16th, 2004 to "bolster town spirits and encourage tourists to visit our pretty little town."

On the discussion board, various fans ponder the burning question, "What's your favorite memory of the beaver?" Neil recalls "driving by it for the first time and thinking 'holy shit': that's a big beav. Sweet Jesus, if there is another beaver as big as this, is definitely isn't as beautiful. Seriously.......that's a sweet beav." According to Mike, "Drivin by the big beaver watchin smaller beavers take pictures!!" gave him a woody (no pun).

A field trip to Beaverlodge is SO on the (v)agenda! Stay tuned for details.

Any daring celebrities hoping to make next year's list might consider investing in one of these beauties, and take 2009 by storm!

Update: Now THIS is regulation celebrity toe! Werq!
