Recently, there was sad chuckling at Victor R. Stanwick’s attempt at humour when he asked why there are no horse statues with four feet off the ground: > **[Do I sweat a liter every night?](https://www.straightdope.com/21344068/do-i-sweat-a-liter-every-night)** To which Cecil replied that merry-go-rounds do indeed have just that. Whether such things can be considered “statues” is a debate I’ll leave for another day, but until then I suggest all concerned familiarize themselves with the art of David Cerny, including his St. Wenceslas: > **[Statue by David Cerny mocking the statue of St. Wenceslas | Photo](https://www.travelblog.org/Photos/4422140)** > > A picture of Statue by David Cerny mocking the statue of St. Wenceslas hosted by travelblog.org A challenging and fun artist, and a horse statue with all four feet off the ground. ---

Kewl! Incidentally, the joke from Victor upon which Cecil responded was sent in 10 years ago. So, those of you who have sent in questions for Cecil, I recommend patience (he gets several dozen questions a week.) I think this is probably a record, though. Most questions are only a few months old.
