Only as much as the Greeks have

Fun fact: Having the horse's two front legs in the air means, traditionally, that the person died having sex.

General Theodoros Kolokotronis

Can you read this? I can.

I really admire the statue of US Grant, which depicts him sitting atop his favourite horse Cincinnati, located in Washington. It's strange how few people know about it.

This statue of Washington outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Different angle where you can see the Museum of Art in the background

It's also facing City Hall, ignore William Penn's penis

Fuck it, anotha one

I hope some people don;t think this way

it's still a cool name can't blame em really

nothing better than Wellington in Glasgow with his traffic cone hat since 1985

Estátua de Artigas - Montevideo, Uruguay

poor wellington ... he did his duty

I am the only one this pisses off? People should be more respectful to our nation's heroes instead of using their statues as a platform for a shitty joke.

On the count that it's been there for over 30 years now I think the traffic cone has become a part of cultural history and deserves a degree of appreciation as well.

Making light of is a form of celebration.

Nah that's a bunch of gibberish.

I think that´s a kind of humour on the island :D
