The University of Maryland, College Park, is having a 150th anniversary celebration. As part of that celebration, they are sponsoring a "Fear the Turtle" sculpture project. Large sculptures of the mascot truculent terrapin are scattered in fifty places across Maryland and Washington, DC. This sculpture, "Disco Turtle," is across the street from the Discovery Channel World Headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, about three blocks from NOAA's National Ocean Service. (© 2006 Lawrence I.
