How many cans does it take to make a combine? Celebrating the roll-out of their new series combine, John Deere took a ‘canned’ approach. A can sculpture at the company’s Pavilion is under construction. Here is a snap from the live web-cam. The company has a number of social media focused activities around the charitable project. The sculpture is a 3-D mosaic using about 300,000 cans. After the display holds down the floor of the pavilion for a number of days the sculpture will be removed and donated to a local food pantry. John Deere feels it is a symbol of their role in American agriculture. You can visit the Can-do project Facebook page and customize your own can wrapper and participate in the event. You can watch “Behind the scene’ videos from YouTube or see the progress live from a web cam. The participants are talking about setting a new record for largest can sculpture. Check it out!

Holy Thanksgiving, Batman! Do you think it wise to name the Wayne estate in Turkey, Batman?
Alfred: Master Robin, are you speaking double-talk?
Robin: No Alfred, the bat-computer just fixed the coordinates of Batman in Turkey.
Alfred: But Robin, he is right here in the batcave.
Batman: Yes, I’m afraid Alfred, that Robin has a point. I fear it is too late to change it now. Make arrangements for us to fly to Turkey to divest of the Wayne estate.
Alfred: Are you sure you want to miss the lept Like A Blog social media marketing class?
Robin: Holy bat-tweets, Alfred, we can’t miss that.
Batman: Quite right Robin, we’ll have to wait until after the class.
Robin: It will be over by Thanksgiving.
Alfred: I’ll make the arrangments for then.
Batman: We can have our Thanksgiving turkey in Turkey.
