Statue Facts

In 2013, a man bought a house next to his ex-wife just to install a giant middle finger statue for her to see every day.

Cambodia carved a giant stone statue of a rat. It honors Magawa, who spent five years sniffing out landmines there. He became the first rat ever given the PDSA Gold Medal. That medal is the animal world's version of the George Cross. Magawa found 71 landmines and 38 unexploded bombs before he retired in 2021. He cleared ground equal to roughly 20 football fields.
