Danish Trolls Are Playing Twinkly Music On This Pan Pipes Bridge

“Who’s that tripping over my bridge?!” roared the troll. “It is I, the creator of elevator and massage room muzak, and I’ve come to have a tinkle on your bridge’s underbelly-pipes!”

With 600 pipes hanging from the bridge, located in Aarhus, Denmark, CZWG’s Chimecco sculpture must be pretty popular with billy goat gruffs, too. [Mark Nixon via Dezeen]

Side-note: I had no idea this old nursery rhyme was so flippin’ dark.

    That’s a story not a nursey rhyme. But yes most nursery rhymes have pretty dark origins.

    All the old European kids stories are dark – I mean hell, the little mermaid ends with her bleeding to death from her chopped in half legs and dissolving into seafoam. You just have to remember that the cultures that bring you games like Penumbra etc now were the ones writing fairy stories back in the day.

    That said, Arhus is a generally hipster place…so this fits right in there. It’s sort of Denmark’s equivalent of Newtown?
