Sharky Monument: Foamhenge

Memory foam with prehistoric reach.

Years ago, in the land of Virginia, there lived a sculptor called Mark Cline.

Mark was a master of his craft—the creator of legendary beasts, swashbuckling adventure, and supernatural journeys.

Yet he wanted more. He wanted to build something with a sense of history and meaning. Something with panache. There was only one thing that would satisfy him.

The Foamhenge.

In 2004, Mark Cline constructed an exact replica of the iconic Wiltshire prehistoric monument known as Stonehenge, except for one key difference: he made his version out of enormous foam blocks.

Besides the medium and the location, what else is different? Well, Stonehenge is steeped with an air of mystery and wonder. Its stone faces have witnessed the unconquerable passage of time and will retain her secrets for eternity (barring erosion).

To celebrate the sharky achievement that is Foamhenge, we’ve decided to even the ‘henge score. Here are four fictitious rumors about Foamhenge we intend on spreading to the ends of the Earth until people begin considering them truths and get really confused. Just like Stonehenge “facts.”

1. Foamhenge’s creator, Mark Cline, received ninja training in a mountain stronghold. Like Batman.
2. There is a dinosaur buried beneath Foamhenge.
3. During the summer solstice, said dinosaur reanimates and hums “Bohemian Rhapsody” from its grave for exactly five minutes fifty-four seconds.
4. Getting a tattoo of Foamhenge on your back is a good idea.

If you’re interested in preserving the little pockets of wonder that have become all too infrequent in this world, pass these ‘henge facts on. Godspeed, and foam bless.

Visit Foamhenge if: You’ve already been to Wiltshire. Twice.

Don’t Visit Foamhenge if: You have a violent allergy to foam.
