With proper care, which you will, of course, have to provide. :-)<BR/><BR/>The statue thing has always made me wonder. How does the artist go about deciding the size of the umm... parts? Do you err on the big side, or the small? I'm guessing everyone has a different idea of average, so that could be a problem too... I know it's supposed to be art, and that's cool, don't get me wrong.

It looks horrid. It surely is not MY fault. <BR/><BR/>And statues might be naked because they want to show off their hard bodies. Oh Hahahahaha...ha....uh. Not that funny but it does remind me of all of Rodin's statues of Paul the Apostle. I remember the first time I saw them in San Francisco. I just had no idea that Paul did all of his Godly works sans clothing. Who knew? Rodin, apparently.
