I happened to think of a mildly bizarre item found at my alma mater, BYU.
[Go Cougars! Sorry, wrong newsgroup...Chris Grevstad, listen up; I know
you're out there.] There is a science building which has a statue of its
namesake, Carl Eyring, in front of it. As a BRONZE PART OF THE STATUE,
not as an addon or someone's prank, there is ivy going up one of his legs.
(I never tried to find out the reason for that, though.)

Speaking of bizarre statues.....At my alma mater Purdue - at the
Memorial Union above the front entrance is a square pillar....
Now upon closer inspection the front is carved with the likeness
of a man and woman with the women holding a bunch of grapes...
the second and third sides appear similar with the couple in
a cornfield....but on the fourth side only the image of a man
and a sheep....I always thought IOWA was where the sheep are
nervous !!!
