Rosenthal Spinning Cube Sculpture Revisited
« on: November 17, 2011, 08:50:35 PM »

I was watching some coverage of The Occupy Wall Street movement on TV tonight and saw a spin top I reported on earlier.  The Rosenthal Top in New York was on The Ed Show.
I am posting a link an article with a still picture of it here-

This link may not last long.
If anyone finds a video of it spinning could you post it?

Wait!  I didn't know what I was looking for.  I looked right by it.  It is at the top of that link in the middle of those seven pictures.

They call it "the red cube".

Let's see if the picture stays:



By the way, during nats there was a "we-are-99%" march (is there an Occupy Chico?  ??? ) around main plaza, where the contest was taking place. I wish I had taken a picture.

Thanks for posting that photo Jorge.  Now can anyone find a video of it spinning during the demonstration?
FYI, this is the cube that was pranked with the Rubik's design many years ago.
