can someone please tell me...




What does "FIX-ICEMACHENE" mean?? This (huge, kind of ugly) sculpture is at Navy Pier, right in the front, as you approach from Illinois and Streeter. I see it on a regular basis, and I find myself perplexed. WTF is this supposed to mean? Is it a request? Does someone out there really want ice? Or is it, like, a request for aliens who might happen to land (Welcome to our planet! Bring us some ice, dammit! Da Bears are on and da beer is warm!)? But why couldn't they spell "machine" correctly? Is it a joke that everyone but me is in on?

I'm puzzled.
