Yet more reasons why you shouldn't swim in the fountain

The Manic Monday theme is "Fountain".
It just so happens that I already did a "fountain" themed post on Friday, so you can always click back and re-read that instead. I'll never know. I never know anything these days.

Today, though, I'll just show you pictures of other fountains which struck me as odd.

First, there's one in Chicago which is a sculpture devoted to dog poop.*

I learned about it from this post over at Oddity Central, which has plenty more pictures of it, plus a story of how it came to be.

Chocolate fountains will never look quite the same now.

Then, there's this site which has a whole page full of 12 bizarre fountains.

There's (among others) a lactating mermaid, a kid peeing on a frog, and a guy throwing up in London.

Feel free to explain the one about the naked kid riding the swan and choking him at the same time.


*So much for having a post without any waste products this time.
Oh, well. Maybe tomorrow.

There are certain things that should not flow quite so freely.

Thom: And don't forget the one with the guy throwing up in London. :)

Jamie: So true!

Hyuck, hyuck! What will we humans think of next? It's all in the interpretation, yes? Well, except for the dog poo one and the vomit-guy...pretty much straight-forward, wot? Too, the mermaid and "ppe-boy" ( both copied so many times, it's a bloody plague! )

Subtorp77: I'm just glad there isn't a fountain devoted to lactose intolerance. As far as we know.

You will forgive me if I don't click over to those links. The descriptions are enough to make me queasy. As for the photos you posted - ewwww!

Subtorp77: Google-Time is sort of like Hammer-Time, except it burns fewer calories.

Grace: Hee! :)

It's not so much that you found odd fountains. That is to be expected so that it's not that unusual.

It's that I actually clicked on the links and toured through the odd fountains.

Cheers!

Travis: Pretty cool, huh? :)
