media.ebaumsworld.com — Between this, the DIY tumbler, and the Elf ears operation, one might think that some people have too much free time on their hands.

      • JPong01, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0Uh, no. Richard, chief warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the 13 hells, master of the bones, emperor of the black, lord of the undead, and mayor of a little village up the coast.

  • Ksg89, on 08/07/2008, -3/+73Thats awesome! Shame its on ebaumsworld, it will be stolen from elsewhere.
  • agentb111, on 08/07/2008, -4/+4kind of reminds me of a Perry Bible Fellowship comic panel but...made out of sand
    • GBladeCL, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2This comment reminded me to check pbf... The new comic is much more disturbing then this pic.
  • jmkiii, on 08/07/2008, -4/+138Photoshopped!
    Real dragon made to look like sand.
    • ispeakasian, on 08/08/2008, -1/+8duh! the pixels are all wrong!
    • ZeeZee2k, on 08/08/2008, -10/+1Hello? Dragons are make believe creatures. It's clearly an Alligator eating a man.
  • juliohm, on 08/07/2008, -25/+12***** you! My friend died eaten by a sand dragon!
    • CindyMindy, on 08/08/2008, -9/+2What's up with this *****? I've heard people jokingly say this for years. How come every 12 year-old on Digg thinks it's funny all of a sudden?
      • inkswamp, on 08/08/2008, -3/+4***** you! My friend died thinking that was funny all of a sudden.
    • doob10163, on 08/08/2008, -2/+6***** you. *Punts dog*
    • iizh, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2You're doing it wrong. TWO of my friends died. Two. Not "my friend".
      • robdazomba, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3***** you! Two of my friends died doing it wrong.
      • Nollykin, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1***** you! Two of my friends died doing my friend.
  • Downten, on 08/07/2008, -4/+5Sweet.. Dragon... The Background Reminds me of Harrison Lake in BC.
    • CanadaMan87, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4I think it is Harrison Lake (or rather, Lagoon).

      The sandsculpture contest they hold produces some incredible stuff.
    • Ranadok, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4I'm pretty sure that is the Harrison Hot Springs lagoon (on the South shore looking North). I don't recognize this specific sculpture (I don't usually go to the competition), but the location is pretty unmistakable.

      The (horribly designed) website has has a pretty good gallery of contest winners.

  • monsterette, on 08/08/2008, -1/+6...very good...I'm still trying to form the base of a sand castle!
  • CCunitz, on 08/08/2008, -7/+16I went Sand-Dragon hunting once.....
    Bloody PETA was on my ass before I could even load my sand-rifle.
  • AHolmes360, on 08/08/2008, -1/+1Hungry fella?
  • TheyHate, on 08/08/2008, -2/+9I'm not funny
  • LemonChicken, on 08/08/2008, -12/+7So, what's the verdict, experts? Shopped? Looks a little too solid to be sand. The lack of an accompanying article or a source, and the fact that it comes from ebaums is compounding.
  • oogydoogy, on 08/08/2008, -1/+64buried for being on thiefbaumsworld
  • narupo, on 08/08/2008, -7/+0We need more china on frontpage ,its olympic special.

    • digg4smarts, on 08/08/2008, -3/+0ha yea i was thinking how much fun it would be to destroy with a squirt gun.
    • walshgopher, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Oh yea and how about we find the person who made it, knock them down, and steal their lunch money?
  • Ducksa, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4I don't think I can fully appreciate how hard that must be to create
  • ToxicDose, on 08/08/2008, -0/+51This is much better:

  • szskateman22, on 08/08/2008, -1/+1The only reason that you don't f**k with the sand... it may rebel
  • inkswamp, on 08/08/2008, -0/+28Weird, a friend of mine took a pic of this same sand sculpture from almost the same angle and posted it to Flickr. I thought it was his photo on the front of Digg at first.

    • ScoutzMom, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2That's just sad. :-(
    • warispeace21, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1So why not just build them indoors? Seems like the obvious solution.
    • Vodd9, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1That is incredibly low.
  • Davoidbot, on 08/08/2008, -2/+11This doesn't deal with the story, but I just found this out. If you boil pears they taste like sweet potatoes. Let this be a warning to all of you.
  • Paranoidmarvin, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Well... I can't do that.
  • bilb, on 08/08/2008, -3/+1For me to poop on

  • Ladymongoose, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1This is all the more impressive to me since we went to the beach recently and all I could toss together was a lame, basic sand castle (more like a sand wall) for my toddlers with a pail.. . I'll never live it down if they see these.
  • TheKitchenSinkX, on 08/08/2008, -1/+13Buried for ebaumsworld.
