    The Scottish sculptor Iain McColl designed the second post, The Cockerel.

    The influences behind this one are Miro’s The Fork and Branusci’s The Cock.

    Here’s The Cock:

      I’m ALMOST sure that’s not what a cock is supposed to look like…

      Also, “here’s the cock” is such a weird sentence fragment regardless of context 😄

        It looks about right to me. Should I see a doctor?

      Miro’s The fork makes sense. The Cock however seems like a stretch.

      The sculptor reportedly said:

      “Le Coq c’est moi”

      “The Cock is me”

      Also related:

      Coq means rooster in French and is not used as an insult or a euphemism for the penis at all.

      But your mileage may vary.
