Choking Gargoyle

It's not on the roof, but to the side of the front entrance of the Cathedral. I thought at first, "Oh, nice, a bird gargoyle; how New Zealand!", but on approach, I realized it was a lion with a bit of spouting stuck in his mouth. Now that I've got a minor dental surgery pending, this is no laughing matter, folks.

    Eddie, pleasure. And I hope you have a great time at the Great Gettogether - will be thinking about all you three.

    Dsole, can't you? Gee, I'm a very short person, so maybe I'll have to go back with a ladder next time.

  8. You mean, Meirisi, this is not a uniquely Nelson torture method?

  9. Nice gargoyle. I think you're right that a bird would have been better...functionally at least since you could better hide the lead spout.
