ahaha...the statue of liberty. get a load of this.
"The Statue of Liberty is coated with a thin layer of copper, which turns a blue-green with age due to chemical reactions between metal and water. This process is known as patination and occurs with most copper when it's placed outside.
The true color of the Statue of Liberty before patination was a shiny reddish brown color. "
so, basically, the statue of liberty serves as a warning that things that were green...were originally red.
