SOAP LAKE: Where does a 50-foot mechanical lava lamp fit within a small town?
Anywhere it wants to. Or, to be more precise, anywhere the community wants it to go.

The Soap Lake city council unanimously agreed at their meeting Wednesday (November 17, 2004) to contract with Target Corporation to facilitate moving the lamp sign structure, which currently stands on the corner of a building in Times Square in New York City, to Soap Lake.

"At the present time, it is a matter of waiting for it to be removed from (its) position in Time Square and then, to our understanding, placed on trucks and shipped to Soap Lake," Mayor Wayne Hovde said. Brent Blake, president and CEO of the Soap Lake Giant Lava Lamp Project, Inc., said that the city council decision helped his corporation overcome
several challenges.

3. I had one of them

It had red wax (or whatever that stuff is) in a yellowish liquid. I could watch that thing for hours. They are strangely calming, I should bring it out again but I think it needs a new light bulb
