The Manneken Pis, or the perpetually peeing infant, is a tourist landmark in Brussels if there ever was one. Originally designed to provide drinking water to the neighborhood, the statue has become an icon of the city. Even visiting dignitaries get into the fun by bringing the statue costumes that represent their culture, customs, and causes. The little guy even has an Elvis Presley costume! On the day we visited, the Manneken was wearing a white ribbon to commemorate the death of Puccini.

The Manneken would have looked awesome in a Clemson T-shirt!!
We should definitely find out before we return if they'll take a costume from just anyone...
