When Admiral Lord Nelson died he was 5 feet tall. His statue in London is 15 feet tall. That's Horatio of 3:1.
Pedantry corner:
Nelson was apparently 5 ft 7 in (67") tall. His column in Trafalgar Square is 169 ft 3 in or 2031".
So that's Horatio of 30.3134328358 to 1. Approximately. nerd

The column is not the statue, though - the statue is 18 feet 1 inch wink - so roughly 6 ft tall, vs roughly 18 feet tall = ...?

Sounds daft but makes sense when you think about it.
How do you know I don't make the meme, eh, eh?

WOW! I can't believe you went to all the trouble of posing those people, taking photos, and creating a photostrip just to explain StevieBee's joke.
That's proper dedication and commitment. bow

As West Ham United's struggles continued, a pound coin was thrown onto the pitch. Police are trying to determine whether it was a missile or a takeover bid.

A hopeful chap joined an online dating site. He was dismayed to find himself kicked out of it within minutes of
completing his profile. He couldn't understand it. He'd answered all the questions with great care and was as truthful as he could possibly be.
When asked to describe the kind of partner he'd like best, he simply wrote, 'I like striking women.'

Say what you like about the NHS, but at least they removed that mole from my arse. Unlike the RSPCA who said they'd prosecute me if I did it again.

One of the stories about Raggot :

Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski, and his homosexual partner Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.

"I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon,' my cue that he'd had enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn't come out again, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."

At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out the tube, igniting Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out like a cannonball."

Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.
