#Twoppics – Robocop, Jules Verne, BornThisWayFriday

Twoppics, the stories behind the hottest topics on Twitter...

Your twoppic of the moment is Robocop... No, the movie isn't on TV somewhere... Detroit Mayor Dave Bing asked residents suggest ways to help revitalize the city, when someone suggest a statue to the movie maven. The Mayor's response...

@MT There are not any plans to erect a statue to Robocop. Thank you for the suggestion.

...well, don't hold your breath. That set off a firestorm on Twitter, though, where people like @mja004...

C'mon Detroit, you gotta build on the momentum from the Super Bowl. A Robocop statue is a must.

...support the idea. @HelloNicolas says if Detroit doesn't want a Robo-Statue, his city will take it...

If Detroit does not want the #Robocop statue Milwaukee will gladly replace our #BronzeFonz with it.

Your twoppic of the day is Jules Verne. If he were still alive, the well-known author of such classics as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days would turn a spritely 183 today. Today's Google Doodle is in his honor...

Happy birthday Jules Verne! Navigate the Nautilus 20,000 leagues under the sea with today's doodle http://goo.gl/CAP8y

...are taking to Twitter to honor Verne.

Your top twoppic is just three days away... Lady Gaga's new single, Born This Way will be released Friday, and Gaga herself sent out a French countdown tweet while releasing the single's artwork...
