Mannekin Pis

For whatever reason, the city of Brussels is obsessed by this tiny little statue of a little boy peeing into a fountain pool. The tourists of Brussels are obsessed with chocolate. And these obsessions intersect.




And the real thing (yeah, we couldn't help ourselves here...):


Apparently, Mannekin Pis gets dressed up on a regular basis. Check him out on wikipedia, dressed up as an organ-builder-colleague of my father. (Though for the record, as far as I know, my father has no such hat).
