Here it seems like the sharks were able to be placed based on laws who controls the portion of the river from the shore. Maybe something similar could be discovered about the Rhino? Maybe a certain landowner owns so much of the river out from the shore so you would know who’s consent had to be given to place it there? Just a thought!

The owner of the property we inspected in preparation for the installation of new outdoor lighting had at least two - maybe more - giant bronze statues on their property. One was a life-sized lion statue. I can't recall what the other one was, but I believe there could have been more than two statues, as the property was huge, almost like a smaller park with a huge mansion in the middle. The property was at the edge of a small village at the end of a very steep road up a small mountain in northern Germany.

2021-06-25 01:44:32 +0000 UTCOmg, I haven’t finished listening to this but just looking at the show notes I immediately knew what it was going to be about (but didn’t know was a problem for other people). For a gift for my girlfriend’s parents, who miss eating certain types of mangos (incl. alphonsos) that they can’t get here, I ordered from that site like half a year ago. They still have my money, still haven’t shipped, and I look like an asshole because I told my girlfriend about it and they never got there…
