Merlin de Thionville's statue brings upon itself some sad lulz.

So I was googling some facts on Merlin de Thionville (i.e. his first names), when I came across this site and the pretty little picture in the middle of it:



...I cracked up.

I don't know why it's so amusing, if it's the Heroic Soldier Pose Epic Fail, or if it's the text saying (in French) "the statue of a proud soldier", and you can see how PROUD he REALLY wants to show he IS with his arms up there like that, but... yeah. To prove further my point:





Thanks Bigger Photo for making it even funnier... with bigger details.


Still, Carnot's statue in Maubeuge is waaaaay funnier.

Bigger details indeed! They sure didn't spare the loving detail of his bulge there. Striking that pose, I kind of expect him to start dancing. The longer I look at it, the more disappointed I am that he doesn't. The tease.

I think dancing!Merlin de Thionville needs to be obligatory in any post or thread concerning the Thermidorians from now on.

*shifty eyes*

I totally did not edit Fanlore's Paul Gross Arms (http://fanlore.org/wiki/Paul_Gross_Arms#.5Co.2F) entry to contest the validity of Due South's ownership of the victory arms.

Except for the part in which I did.

I just discovered this comm and saw the post so..
Yeah, this statue is in Thionville :) (but well, the roundabout and the place changed so much since that photo omg. And the restaurant still exists)

And the lulz if this statue was built after 1918
