PAVANE -> Statues of people who never exsisted (1/26/2007 4:38:38 AM)

hi everyone
i was reading that torquay council is putting up a statue of basil fawlty. to commerate john cleese's sitcom 'fawlty towers'.
it made me wonder, how many statues r there of people who never exsisted in real life? or probably never existed. the only other one i could think of is robin hood. who has a statue in the grounds of nottingham castle.
so answers on a postcard please or by email to here.
ps this is about statues of people not gods.

Well, the character of the Hotelier Basil Fawlty was after a fashion, based on a real hotelier in Torquay.


And do you mean numbers or kinds?  Because god and jesus got alot of statues goin on out there.

I thought there was one of the Mermaid in Copenhagen. Not sure if that fits your criteria for non-existant people.

At the risk of offending the religous amongst us, some could say almost every church has a statue of some sort of either Mary or Christ.


PLEASE DONT TURN THIS INTO A THREAD ON DID THEY EXIST OR NOT!!!!!!

Any statue of any god or goddess, ever.

Oops, missed your qualification there.[8|]

Does wax count?

What about mannekins?

And dinosaurs?  They never really existed as people.  I think.

There's a few (8 that I can think of) of Peter Pan.

Here there's also a ton of mermaid statues painted by local artists around the city, following the trend of animal statues in other cities.

Ack!  I love your name and avatar.

Are you suggesting Peter Pan did not exist?

I have a statue of Spongebob sitting next to my sink....

He's not wearing pants; does that make me a pervert?
