Random: Local Council Installs Plant Pots That Look Like Mario Warp Pipes, And Residents Aren't Happy We're all familiar with the iconic green Warp Pipe, right? As devoted fans of Mario's classic platforming adventures, we'd very much welcome the idea of a few Warp Pipes dotted around our local town centre, but some residents in Walsall, UK aren't quite on the same page. As reported by Birmingham Live, Walsall Council has spent taxpayers' cash on some new plant pots to "promote a feeling of wellbeing and safety" and to "enhance" the town centre. The council has received a total of £1.5m to spruce up two areas in the West Midlands town, and Councillor Adrian Andrew says that the new planting aims to "create a more social space outside the Walsall Art Gallery."
