Speaking of statues, there is a statue of [William Penn](http://bp1.blogger.com/_fw7iF68JR8k/SCEglof8vNI/AAAAAAAAPyI/kUa12tcnsYs/s1600-h/Philadelphia_City_Hall-zoom.JPG) atop City Hall in Philadelphia, which has an “interesting” protrusion if you view it from the correct angle Note: questionably safe for work… suggestive, but nothing involving nudity. ---

Ha-I’m glad I live in Pittsburgh. I BELIEVE there might be a plan to erect a statue of Fred Rogers. ---

[/QUOTE] Looks like someone stole the meat cleavers out of his hands. _“In other news, the Milwaukee Nightmare Fuel Sculpture Garden was vandalized yesterday. Officials estimate the cost of repairing the Grinning Hellspawn Winkler at $55,000. Meanwhile, parents are advised to remind their children that there’s no reason why the Hell-Winkler can’t strangle them in their sleep with its bare hands.”_ ---

[QUOTE=Slithy Tove] TV Land fully sponsored six other statues, but has since ended the program. Those are Mary Tyler Moore in Minneapolis, Bob Newhart in Chicago, Elvis Presley in Honolulu, Ralph Kramden in New York City, Samantha from “Bewitched” in Salem, Mass., and Andy Griffith in Raleigh, N.C. [/QUOTE] Andy Griffith in Raleigh? He’s from Mt. Airy, halfway across the state! They should have put a statue of Jack Webb in Los Angeles first.
