then there's this!It seeems that Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris has fenced off a famous tomb to prevent lewd acts being performed on a statue.
It seems that the reclined statue of a 19th Century journalist, Victor Noir (whose real name was Yvan Salman) is very popular with women, partly due to his reputation as a romantic figure, and partly... just because.
Noir was killed by Pierre Bonaparte, a great-nephew of the Emperor Napoleon, the day before he was to marry.
Along with the fence there is a new sign that warns: "Any damage caused by graffiti or indecent rubbing will be prosecuted."
Well, ok then...
