raising of street lamp for placing of tire
raising of street lamp for placing of tire
 On
November 27, 1996, Andreas Slominski placed a bicycle tire over
the pole of a normal streetlight on the Adenauerallee, in Münster,
Germany. However, he didn't take the easy way out. He didn't
imitate the usual children's game of throwing the tire over
the top of the pole. Instead, he had construction workers lift
the streetlight out of the cement; he then placed the tire around
the pole from underneath, and then had the construction workers
replace the lamp back in the pavement. The tire was then later
stolen.

Playing the game remains unpredictable to the end. (A. Slominski)
