  1. You never know what you're going to find in Paris! People walking through walls! Sheesh!

    What a great sculpture! I am so damn ignorant, though, I do not know who is the the man who walks through walls...

  2. @ Jacob - When I saw it the first time, few years ago, I knew nothing about it, so I took the picture simply because I liked it. Then I found the story (it's linked), I read it, and now I like it a bit more...

  5. The first part of the story was pretty funny. I hear work calling me again, so I won't finish today, but it makes this creepy statue feel more humorous!
