What some Belgians think of Bush
I've been trying to get my wife to special-order me a fountain shaped like the Mannekin-Pis, which is a legendary statue in Brussels. (IIRC, the legend says that a little boy saved the town of Brussels from burning to the ground by urinating on the flames, so the grateful citizens honored him by erecting a statue of a naked little boy peeing.

The Mannekin-Pis has his own website at http://www.mannekin-pis.com where you can send e-greeting cards like this one:

2. I've Seen the Original in Brussels,
and they do make a big deal of it over there. There's even a Belgian restaurant in Maryland called The Mannequin Pis which has a functional replica. So this is no surprise.
