statues
- When you see a statue of a man on a horse, think of this. If the horse has both front legs in the air, the man died in battle. If one front leg is in the air, the man died from wounds received in battle. If all legs are on the ground, the man died of natural causes
- Singapore has a statue of a mythical beast as its nation’s emblem. It is the merlion, head of a lion, body of a fish. It is ironic because lions have never lived in Singapore (Singa meaning lion in Malay, and pura meaning city in Sanskrit)
