A Serbian village erecting a statue to reggae superstar
Bob Marley? Sure, why not? A Bosnian town with a statue of kung-fu legend
Bruce Lee? Hell, yeah! And how 'bout, say, a Serbian monument to
Rocky? Er, well.. ok. But the British Museum displaying what they say is the largest gold statue built since ancient Egypt, of...
Kate Moss? Um... I dunno. I prefer the Russian monument to
the enema.

He is the world's tallest cast iron statue. He has a long and sometimes troubled history. His enormous bare
buttocks have offended local prudes and religious leaders for decades. He was
disassembled in 1999 for refurbishing, but now once again, from atop his lofty
mountain perch, this pagan
colossus reigns over Birmingham, Alabama, the virtual buckle of the Bible Belt.
Behold,
Vulcan!
