Ampersands

Could the huge ampersands find their way to the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, or serve as public art elsewhere?

When one team wanted to crash the game or cause their opponent’s lag to spike, they would fill the window with a string of as many symbols as it could take, usually dollar signs, greater than symbols, or ampersands.

After the advent of printing in Europe in 1455, printers made extensive use of both the italic and Roman ampersands.

For instance, when putting URLs or other material containing ampersands into XML format files such as RSS files the & must be replaced with amp; or they are considered not well formed, and computers will be unable to read the files correctly.
