"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Via Matthew Yglesias who admits he was being a "pretty shitty Jew" by visiting Washington National Cathedral during Yom Kippur, we learn that Darth Vader's head is among the grotesques adorning the West Towers of the Cathedral. I was filled with pride to further learn that we have a Nebraskan, Chris Rader of Kearney, to thank as he won third place in a children's sculpture design competition held when the West Towers were being completed.

It is pretty cool, but you need a freaking telescope to see the thing. It is about 250 feet up. If you aren't familiar with the National Cathedral, it's pretty brilliant. Check it out.
