Big Thumb Statue in Paris

The giant thumb statue in Paris is called "Le Pouce de Cesar" and is 12 meters high and 4 meters wide. You can find it in the area of Paris called La Defense near the Grande Arche. And what a thumb it is!

It's pretty good. It's to the left of the CNIT.

And for 22 years, I wasn't aware of this thumb.

What intrigued me the most (not having noticed the date) was that a "guest" could post.

Everyone was a 'guest' in 1996

True. Also, on just about every site, people who have deleted their account are listed as "guest" if their posts remain visible.

1. In the twenty or so years I have been on this site, this is the first time I’m reading about the giant thumb.

2. How on earth did someone find a thread from 1996 with no replies? Was it listed somewhere as a “related thread”?

In any event, I am happy to have seen it now.
