I'm sure several of you already know this, but this is carved into the face of the rock in Lucerne, Switzerland. The artist did so as a tribute to his friends and compatriots who were killed in a battle. That opening is roughly 15-20 feet across, for scale.
It is in a pretty little park. Luzern, as with most Swiss cities and towns, is beautiful.
Brad Thor did a book called “The Lions of Lucerne”. Wonder if it had anything to do with that? Pretty good book by the way.
Thor's book title is a reference to the statue, yes; but a completely unrelated story, obviously.
Wikipedia:
From the early 17th century, a regiment of Swiss Guards had served as part of the Royal Household of France. On 6 October 1789, King Louis XVI had been forced to move with his family from the Palace of Versailles to the Tuileries Palace in Paris. In June 1791 he tried to flee to Montmédy near the frontier, where troops under royalist officers were concentrated. In the 1792 10th of August Insurrection, revolutionaries stormed the palace. Fighting broke out spontaneously after the Royal Family had been escorted from the Tuileries to take refuge with the Legislative Assembly. The Swiss Guards ran low on ammunition and were overwhelmed by superior numbers. A note written by the King half an hour after firing had commenced has survived, ordering the Swiss to retire and return to their barracks.[4] Delivered in the middle of the fighting, this was only acted on after their position had become untenable.[5]
Of the Swiss Guards defending the Tuileries, more than six hundred were killed during the fighting or massacred after surrender. An estimated two hundred more died in prison of their wounds or were killed during the September Massacres that followed. Apart from about a hundred Swiss who escaped from the Tuileries, the only survivors of the regiment were a 300 strong detachment which, with the King's authorization, had been sent to Normandy to escort grain convoys a few days before August 10.[6] The Swiss officers were mostly amongst those massacred, although Major Karl Josef von Bachmann — in command at the Tuileries — was formally tried and guillotined in September, still wearing his red uniform coat. Two surviving Swiss officers achieved senior rank under Napoleon.
Memorial
The initiative to create the monument was taken by Karl Pfyffer von Altishofen, an officer of the Guards who had been on leave in Lucerne at that time of the fight. He began collecting money in 1818. The monument was designed by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, and hewn in 1820–21 by Lukas Ahorn, in a former sandstone quarry near Lucerne. Carved into the cliff face, the monument measures ten metres in length and six metres in height.
The monument is dedicated Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti ("To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss"). The dying lion is portrayed impaled by a spear, covering a shield bearing the fleur-de-lis of the French monarchy; beside him is another shield bearing the coat of arms of Switzerland. The inscription below the sculpture lists the names of the officers and gives the approximate numbers of soldiers who died (DCCLX = 760), and survived (CCCL = 350).[7]
The monument is described by Thomas Carlyle in The French Revolution: A History.[8] The pose of the lion was copied in 1894 by Thomas M. Brady (1849–1907)[9] for his Lion of Atlanta in the Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia.
Mark Twain on the monument
One of my favorite cities on the planet...beautiful city, history and a lot of fun bars along the river to meet people
. Walking back to a hotel and had a lady pull up in a Mercedes and stop to ask if I needed company for the night...500 Francs (2008). Taxi pulled up behind her and said he only charged 10 Franc to get me to my room. Turned them both down
HOLY FUCK this needs to be tweeted and retweeted. That is the most epic shit I've seen so far...

Once when I was about five, I went dumpster diving with a friend because that's what 5yos do. It was the type of dumpster you loaded from the side, not top. The trash truck came while we were in it and we got dumped into the trash truck. I wanted to crawl out he way we got dumped in but the kid I was with was in full panic mode and just started crying/screaming. About that time I noticed the 'roof' coming down and pointed it out to my friend. Told him to follow me out but he just stood there crying. Well lucky for him, the truck driver and his assistant heard him crying and shut down the truck. Next thing I know they're opening the rear doors to reveal us standing there. The shock on their face I can still remember. I'm 51 now. They pulled us out and took us to our respective apartments. The whole way to our apartment I was begging him not to tell my mom. I was grounded for two weeks. Not sure if that was before or after I stuck a butter knife in an outlet and blew the breaker, freaking my mom out. Grounded for two weeks for that too. I was a curious little fucker.

My wife just found out she's adopted and she is devastated. She kept asking "Why didn't they want me?"
I comforted her while she was crying and after a while she asked me to make love to her which led to more tears.
On reflection, banging her from behind and yelling "Who's your daddy?" was a little insensitive.
