CALLING ALL CROQUETTES!!

Last night I was minding my own business, innocently going through my sister's book on Dorset (that's a county in England, Miss Whyisa,and my sister went to school there for a couple of years) when I innocently staggered into the following ithyphallic apparition:


This is the Cerne Abbas Giant, carved into the grass down to the white chalk. One theory of it's origin is a Romano-Briton response to the Emperor Commodus (that's right, the one who gave Maximus such a hard time in the movie "Gladiator") declaring himself to be the incarnation of Hercules (then a fertility deity in many places). Hence the club and the 10 yard long genital appendage. The entire figure's about 60 yards long. Find out more on Google, I can't sit here typing all day. :^) You're welcome.
