  1. To be fair this is pretty German.

    If you visit Germany, they’ll proudly tell you that Germans are world famous for their bread.

    Of course, nobody knows this until a German has told them, but that’s not the point.

  2. Imagine being the ghost of Konrad von Hochstaden visiting this beautiful Gothic building and seeing your statue is on top of some fat guy blowing himself and nobody cares about you but only takes picture of said guy.

  3. It gets even better once you imagine that guy probably had to pose like that for a while

  4. You may criticize all you want, but how many world wars did Germany start in the middle ages?

  5. The last artist we sho we allowed to do his magic made 6 million Jews disappear.

  6. Haha, Catholics are funny like that. There’s all kinds of weird shit. And don’t start with me on Indian temples. The whole Kamasutra is there depicted in statues.

  7. Maybe the sculptor didn’t like Konrad von Hochstaden or something? I heard Michelangelo did similar things in the Sistine Chapel.
