Venus de Milo Action Figure, Now with Arms

The famous Venus de Milo, discovered in the soil of the Greek island of Melos in 1820, has captivated artistic and popular attention for nearly 200 years. She is a mystery—in particular, her arms. They were never found, so it’s uncertain how they were arranged.

Now you can make your own decisions about her arms. Japanese toymaker Figma offers a posable 6-inch plastic Venus de Milo action figure. She has her arms back, which you can arrange to taste.

Being of Irish decent i have always been told by my relatives to never kiss the Blarney Stone due to the fact the town drunks know tourists often kiss it so the urinate on it to get a good laugh at the not so smart visitors.

Just wondering, how do the town drunks piss on it? If you have to pay to get in and the Blarney Castle has opening and closing hours I'm guessing it's not the easiest of places to just walk in drunk at night. Or do the daytime employees turn a blind eye to the daytime drunks?

And to add onto the story off the bull in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the reason for spinning on the bull's balls is because it's the crest of Torino, Milano's neighbors and rivals.

i went, kissed it, they wipe it off, no biggy...its suppose to bring one of two kinds of luck to those who kiss it...i only remember one of them that the tour guide said... "the gift of gab." maybe the other one was good health....? anyone else remember?...
