Brussels' cheerful, disrespectful answer to a civic statue: a small bronze boy, about 60 cm tall, has been peeing into a fountain on a back street near the Grand-Place since 1619. He has an enormous wardrobe (1,000+ costumes, periodically on display at the City Museum) and is dressed up for special occasions. A block away is Jeanneke Pis, the girl version, and further out is Zinneke Pis, the dog — all part of Brussels' running visual joke about itself.
