"Usually, gargoyles on the fa faades of Gothic temples are located so that the rainwater from the roofs flows through their mouths. But one of the gargoyles of the Fribourg monastery, on the contrary, holds hands and feet behind the wall, and the water flows from behind it. According to city legend, during the construction of this cathedral, the city council increased the work of masonry without a pay increase. The stone cutters have done the job, but placed this sculpture in front of the city council windows."

ZZ Stop :^D

I like that gargoyle also. Did anyone see that wood carving that was hidden at the top of a cathedral for hundreds of years?



A reddit comment that sounds correct...

Actually this was usually a response from carpenters, masons and the ilk when they were scammed of their pay. Literally hundreds of churches would employ skilled masons only to fluke out on the payment, and being the “church” as a institution is was almost always impossible for the workers to get their due.
So, a European wide-tradition of making cocks or assess was adopted. I forget which cathedral, but one of the largest of all in Europe had around 100 cherubs (those baby-angels). Only all of them had their groins broken.

And in other news…

Brad was sick of the world, of Covid-19, Trump, Biden,Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.

Brad drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could.

He got back into his car and rolled down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car, and revved it to a slow idle.

Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services.

First responders broke in, pulling Brad from the car.

A little sip of water and, surprisingly, Brad was in perfect condition and asked for a shot of whiskey. However, his new Tesla had a dead battery.
