Beneath the lake of a once lavish Victorian estate, lies this curious “underwater ballroom,” built by mining magnate, Whitaker Wright. On the apex of the dome stands a Neptune statue. The purpose of this statue was to expel cigar smoke from inside the ballroom. The main estate was a 32 room mansion, but the ballroom was used to entertain guests. The ballroom has remained abandoned since the tragic death of it’s creator. Wright, convicted of fraud and facing a seven year prison sentence, swallowed a cyanide tablet in the courtroom.

Victor Noir is more famous for his death and his grave than for his life. He was a journalist who was shot dead. To mark his grave, a bronze statue of the man lying down as if just shot was erected. This statue has since become something of a fertility symbol.
Due to the naturalistic style of the sculpture there is a fold in Noir’s trousers which make him appear to be aroused. Myth says that placing a flower in the top hat after kissing the statue on the lips and rubbing its genital area will enhance fertility, bring a blissful sex life, or, in some versions, a husband within the year. This is located at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris
"Honey our pregnancy test came back negative we have to go rub the statue’s dick again"
LMAO the cis are at it again. It’s been suggested that the facial model for the statue of liberty was a dude and so now all the news orgs are like “is the statue of liberty actually a man?” Well I for one just congratulate Lady Liberty on being the largest trans woman in North America if not the world.
I, for one, love our country’s giant metal trans woman who welcomes immigrants as they arrive here from across the Atlantic
Since the poem written on her base was taken from a poem written by Emma Lazarus a Jewish woman I’ve decided that makes Lady Liberty a giant metal Jewish trans woman
the statue of liberty is a large trans jew and she is my girlfriend
I’ve got one of those “pawn shop” cheesy history channel shows playing in the background while I work on some stuff and one of the guys came across a human sized statue of a frog in a royal guard outfit and is freaking the fuck out over it. I’ve never heard a man so happy to see a frog
UPDATE: He bought it for almost 400 dollars
UPDATE 2: upon taking it out he realized it had a plug attached to it and got super psyched to plug it in and see what it does and it just…… does jackshit for like fifteen seconds and there’s dead silence before its VERY SLOWLY opening its mouth and letting out the saddest, shittiest slowed down croak I have ever head in my life and just….. he loves it. His face is lit up like a child on christmas morning. I’ve found purity in the most unexpected place

Is this the frog? I saw him when I was in Nashville at the American Pickers store. He was too big to fit on the plane.
WE HAVE CONFIRMATION ON THE FROG, I REPEAT, WE’VE GOT CONFIRMATION ON THE FROG

make america again. just make it again. let’s start over completely. we had a good run but it’s time to hit the reset button and try again
some thoughts for america 2.0:
- national anthem is gasolina
- no founding fathers whatsoever but maybe we give dwayne the rock johnson a mountain statue or two
- let’s do way, way less genocide this time. im thinking definitely like 0% of the genocide from the last time, that seems good
- maybe more holidays about dogs
