Edit: Someone sent this to me, but I found a source discussing it.
Good news, it’s a suppository.
Edit: I just saw the article and the author’s own joke is the best actually.
In another context, their form is obviously a lingam; and we all know Michelangelo loved the lingam.
Lingam is a devotionary shape associated with Shiva that looks like this, and also a dick.
It’s one of those towel pills. Just soak it in water.
Instant Michelangelo! Grows to full size when wet!
Michelangrow?
Wouldn’t a bomb hitting close enough just make the bricks likely to collapse onto the statue and cause damage? 🤔
If the bomb hit close enough to directly damage the bricks, it was gonna damage the statue anyway. This is for when a bomb hit close enough to and debris flying towards the statue, so that the bricks take the damage instead.
Now that’s pretty inventive. Did they do this with more statues? This hardly seems like a one off idea that wasn’t used elsewhere
there are simpler options: odessa, march 2022 https://www.alamy.com/a-statue-of-duke-of-richelieu-seen-entirely-covered-with-sandbags-the-center-of-odessa-and-the-odessa-opera-and-ballet-theater-had-been-protected-with-sandbags-and-anti-tank-barriers-fearing-a-russian-attack-from-the-black-sea-the-city-residents-try-to-defend-the-city-and-its-monuments-image466442147.html
Possibly Ukraine not being run by fascists might have something to do with that.
I wonder which works better. Sandbags are certainly faster.
Both would be ideal. Sandbags for fast, light projectiles, and bricks for slower, heavier ones. Sandbags will stop damn near any bullet, but you can shoot arrows right through them. I’d assume the same would be true for heavy shrapnel, flying rebar, etc.
You know, I bet they dressed the naked statues in actual clothing, just like they painted them.
he’s a brick 🎶🎵🎶🎵 howse
when he says he’s all bricked up
Noice
reminds me of the time cuntykarenmomtwats tried removing the david from school curriculum because PeNiSbAaAaAaAaD
Uh
So they turned it into an inverse frag grenade?The statue still exists, so I guess it worked out.
I have a rock that keeps away sharks and bears if your interested in buying it, I’ve always had it and have never been attacked by either thus proving it works. /s
I didn’t say it worked, I said it worked out.
Would you care to read the article? They weren’t thin walled capsules, they were cairns. It made it so the statues were a solid block of material. There would be no or little fragmentation or spalling effect towards the statue.
To be fair, I believe they posted that before my edit.
