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.

There are things you should never wish to see.
I had to. I just had to.
P.S. It's an awful Thermidorian who ended up at the knees of Louis XVIII to beg that his participation to the storming of the Tuileries was a youth mistake in order not to be exiled. Or at least French Wiki says so. Anyway. He deserves it.

Re: There are things you should never wish to see.
I think dancing!Merlin de Thionville needs to be obligatory in any post or thread concerning the Thermidorians from now on.
Re: There are things you should never wish to see.
...also, I am totally planning a video, whenever I can finally get the mp3 of It's Raining Men. >___>
Re: There are things you should never wish to see.

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.

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
