I never could understand the purpose of the gargoyles on the Natn'l Cathedral.

Seems a little too flip for a house of God.

Here's a more evil gargoyle, obviously on his way to Capital Hill to lobby for bailout money:

Just a point of order (on which even many modern dictionaries are confused):

A gargoyle is one of those weird carvings that also serves as a rainspout.

If the weird carving is purely decorative, it's a grotesque.

Darth is a grotesque. The lobbyist pictured in #7 appears to be an actual gargoyle.
