If a statue of a person in the park on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has a all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
Wait a second. Back up. Is this true? Is this something we got as part of a Democracy from our friends the Greeks? Does this work in all Democracies? That's brilliant. Finally, while wandering around the area of the Capitol Building, looking for where I mightst pay my numerous fines, I can play "Pussy or Badass?" with a friend, a 3G phone and the Wikipedia and make some money through a hot wager. This tidbit you've given us is my ticket out of this dump!!
