How frikken awesome is this? Apparently Catholic Catalonians have had a tradition of putting figurines of defecating people (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sfl-1202defecating,0,4111239.story) in their Nativity Scenes for at least 100 years.

We definitely did talk about this before. Someone who no longer posts here had one of the figurines as their avatar and someone asked wtf it was.
