Closing Thought–01Dec20
We begin a new month and I just had to kick it off with a bit of weird news.
A large phallic statue in Germany has gone missing…..
German police have launched an investigation into the disappearance of a peculiar phallic-shaped sculpture from a mountainside in Bavaria, local media say.
The two-metre tall (6.5ft) wooden statue was apparently chopped down over the weekend, the Allgaeuer Zeitung newspaper reported.
The statue stood for years on the Grünten mountain, south-west of Munich.
Now, all that remains of the monument is a small stump and some wood chips.
It is not known who originally carved and erected the sculpture, which has become a landmark on the 1,738m-high (5,702ft) Grünten mountain, attracting many hikers to the area.
Even online map service Google Maps had recognised the sculpture’s status, designating it as a “cultural monument”.
No-one knows how the 200kg (440lbs) sculpture was hauled up the mountain either.

I am tempted to say, “Only in Germany”.
Oops, I said it!

Has anyone check on Mrs. Jolly Green Giant? chuq
Beanstalk fame’s Jack’s off with it.
I was thinking the Green Giant’s wife. chuq
Somebody obviously saw the opportunity for some free firewood.
I’m thinking it is worth more as a statue than fire starter. chuq
