Maybe the Silver Surfer's board is a giant tongue depressor.

My son, Martin, made an off-the-cuff remark as we visited our local comic shop. It amused me enough that I found a couple of statue images on the web, used some NASA photos, did a little retouching, and made this for him.

Note: I got the cool Galactus photo from Amin Ko's post on statueforum.com, and the Firelord pieces from http://marvel-figurines.blogspot.com. If either of you would like me to remove these from my site, let me know and I will. Thanks.
