  1. I'm not sure I'd want to get on the wrong side of either of them - perhaps particularly the one on the left !

  2. Isn't that Darth Vader????
    Is the national religion Jedi?

  3. A kid won a contest in the late '70's by suggesting Darth Vader as a contemporary gargoyle. You need binoculars to see it from the ground.

    And given the present state of the Episcopal Church (which owns the Cathedral), the gargoyle in question is probably mighty disturbed.
