Ok, I have to admit that the title of the post is a bit overstated, but I had to grab your attention somehow. And if you are reading this, it worked! This list of the world’s strangest water fountains is far away from being official or anything like that — this is Panda’s personal Top 10. But don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed — these funny fountains will be your boredom killers for the next few minutes.
You won’t find the Trevi Fountain on this list, I’m afraid. Instead, this list is dedicated to the weird fountains and questionable pieces of sculpture art from around the world. For example, the famous peeing boy statue known as Mannekin Pis in Brussels, Belgium. Or the Fountain of Neptune which can only be described as mermaid statues sensually squeezing “milk” from their bare chests. Whilst these water features are quite bizarre, some date back many hundreds of years and just like the modern pieces, I'm sure they were also a talking point in their time!
As I am a very curious creature, I’m also really interested in other strange and shocking fountains that I haven’t put here, so feel free to share your findings by leaving a comment.
P.S. Somehow, I feel that by writing these introductions I create even more boredom for you, and that’s completely against my mission (to kill your boredom!), so start scrolling down the pics as soon as possible!

"Visitors can interrupt them by sending an SMS message to a number displayed next to the sculptures. The living statue then "writes" the text of the message, before carrying on as before."
