What if you had the strange, but interesting power, to turn people into stone statues?

Question

Would you go crazy and try to start and art gallery? Maybe make all the people you don't like into tasteful pieces de' art?

Describe how you would use your newfound abilities

(lets assume that the people you turn to statues are completely aware during that time, you choose what their made out of and how their posed, aka you aren't killing them)

Most creative and detailed answer will get the 10 points. Describe the transformation if you want, whatever you think will get you the points.

Sort of a morality question with some fun twist thrown in, lets see how strange people are.

Get creative and have fun!

(Note: people who came here to spam or hate will be added to the art gallery in an embarrassing pose of course)

Answer 1

Do I have to be near them to stone them?  Can I do it from another country?  Would they be able to return to daily lives after I die?  Would breathing and digestion be suspended?  

Please don't put me in a difficult position by not being specific with your question, as I have wrestled with this dilemma for several years.  Oh, yes, I have pondered this concept since the White Sox won the World Series.  My first subject would be Cloris Leachman, but I will never get close enough to turn her.  So must I settle for common citizens?

Answer 2

I would turn all the people I dont like into statues. I would position them in embarassing poses and toture them by turning the sprinklers on them every half hour. Shoot them with paintballs and have painfully loud polka music blaring all around them 24/7. oh, i would set them all in a dog park so the dogs can pee on their legs.

Answer 3

I would go crazy and build a pigeon sanctuary right in the middle of it.

Answer 7

Answer 9

HMMMM...

Well, first I'd turn all my teachers into statues.  Then I would drill a hole in their heads, attach wire, and hang them from my ceiling.  I would then turn my ex into stone, grind him up, and then sprinkle a little bit of him onto my food everyday untill I'd eaten him.  Then, I would freeze Marcia, the meanest most popular girl in my grade, put her in my room and tell her evrything I've been holding back.  Then, I'd draw a mustache and beard on her and unfreeze her infront of her BF's house with a card that calls him VERY bad words! HAHAHAHAH!  HEHEHEH! =)  And then, everybody would live happily ever after! YAAAAAAAY.
