“Bucharest just won the international Hideous Public Art competition.”
“I kind of want it.”
“It does have a sort of fantastic awfulness to it that’s strangely appealing, but it’s still awful.”
“If it was man-portable it’d be perfect to wheel into the guest room to stand at the foot of the bed in the middle of the night.”

Holy crap, if I woke up and saw that, I’d soil myself. And the bed.

Why does it not shock me that there would be amusement in waking to the terrified screams of your house guests?

I would like to award the Internet to whomever came up with that final sentence.

That would be Stingray.
Being friends with us in general and him in particular is much like having a big, cuddly cat that about once a month leaps onto your head from atop the refrigerator and latches on. For the lulz.

I feel like my general sleepy reaction would be like, “Why is Stingray standing over my bed, holding Kang and a giant snake? …fuck it, I’m going back to sleep. I don’t want to know.*”
* Apparently, he has me trained too.

ROTFLMAO! When I first saw this article, I didn’t even think about how it would process through the Nerds. You’ve made my morning.

I got Trajan and the She-Wolf What Nurtured Romulus and Remus right off the bat, but the strange composition caused me to take a second parsing the Draco standard.
‘Til I did, I was left pondering why Trajan had a snake apparently growing out of his left bicep…

…er, his right bicep. The bicep on the left in the photo. You know what I mean.

LOL, yep a bit strange, but then again it IS Romania…

All I was left wondering about that statue was why his mouth wasn’t open showing a maw full of razor teeth and a forked tongue.
It’s just seems like that would fit with the overall design.

I can’t help it; I just keep imagining Trajan’s voice merged with Dr. Evil’s: “And I’m going to have a huge frickin’ naked statue of ME benchpressing a frickin’ WOLF, and then there’s gonna be a snake with frikin’ laser beams shooting out of it’s head—AAARGGHHH DAMNED SCULPTORS”

I think it would be far less creepy if it was more badly made. It’s like zombies — just close enough to right that the wrongness screams out at you.
