Another item, with a very different memory is the pink flamingos.  I remembered those when I read that the inventor had passed away at age 79

Pink flamingos in the gravel on the roof of the UPS room at the Computing Center building on the U-M's North Campus. They were purchased and put there by Bob Husak and George Helffrich. They very quickly vanished, presumably stolen.
