Talk:Manneken Pis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I must correct you on the creator of Manneken Pis, who was Jerôme Duquesnoy (the old)and not François who was his son, who was brother of the famous Jerôme (the young) who again got famous for his fine sculptures and who was strangeled to death and burned afterwards for sodomy with young boys in the St-Baafs cathedral in Ghent. The foreign force that occupied belgium in the 14th century was surely Spanish.

It would be immenseley useful if there were a picture of the statue sans clothes. Most statues are naked, after all. We already have two pics with clothes; we need a naked one. --Golbez 04:00, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)

My ex-girlfriend was in Brussels a few years back and stumbled upon a crowd around Manneken Pis "dispensing" lambic (kriek I think). Does anyone know more about this? Is this something that happens regularly? She has photos of a crowd of people surrounding a guy with plastic cups holding them under his, um, dispenser. Joseph N Hall 06:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
