I shouldn't laugh, I really shouldn't... "Uranus (2.6 m in diameter) was vandalized"

  We should rename it, to end this stupid joke once and for all. Maybe to "Urectum"...

  Unfortunately, due to its name, Uranus has been the butt of many jokes. Sorry -- had to share that. Got it from the wonderful "Great Courses" intro to astronomy series (See? I managed to throw in some good hacker stuff and tell a corny joke at the same time.) Highly recommended.

  If it's in Gävle, it would be a logical guess that it was vandalized due to the local population's decades-long tradition of vandalizing monuments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4vle_goat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4vle_goat

    Destroyed 27 times in 48 years. That makes the recreation seem like a bad idea.

      It's an absolutely fantastic idea, best publicity that town gets all year. The whole country is engaged in the burning of that thing.
