August 5th, 2017: Swiss Pig
Quote:
Quote:
A second lieutenant Carl Pfyffer von Altishofen, who survived because he was home on leave was determined to create a memorial to his unit. He started raising funds to hire sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen to design it. He came up short of money but hired Thorvaldsen anyway. When he found out he wasn’t going to be paid in full, he decided to get even and added some last minute changes to his sculpture. He didn’t alter the sculpture itself, out of respect of the fallen soldiers. Instead, he changed the shape of the alcove around it. Two different sculptors did the actual stone carving faithfully following the Thorvaldsen design. Paybacks are a bitch. link

The lion looks like it needs some Pepto-Bismol.

Am I supposed to be seeing some kind of shape in the hole of the monument that is insulting? It just looks like a hole.

The niche the lion is in is vaguely pig-shaped. A stylized pig, if you will.
She didn't see it 'cuz it's so much smaller than the wild hogs in Texas.
