And finally… get your rocks off
Reading time: 1 minute
A statue of Heracles in a small French town has been endowed with a removable prosthetic penis in a bid to prevent vandalism.
It will feature on the 10-foot statue during special ceremonies.
The deputy mayor of Arcachon said the move came after years of vandals stealing the Greek hero’s penis.
He told The Local: “Considering Heracles’ fragile manhood we’ve chosen to give him a removable prosthetic that we can add to the statue before each ceremony.
“This is the best solution, otherwise you just end up constantly chasing after the anatomy of Heracles.”
He added: “I wouldn’t want anyone - not even my worst enemies - to go through what happens to this statue.”
The prosthetic will not be used outside of ceremonies.
