The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze and marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin, held in the Musée Rodin, in Paris. It depicts a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle. It is sometimes used to represent philosophy.
After much success with The Thinker Auguste Rodin produced the above statue, The Stinker (French: Le Poo Non). It depicts a man in chronic constipation battling a powerful intestinal blockage. It is sometimes used to represent the importance of drinking plenty of liquids and incorporating a diet high in fiber.

“The Thinker on His Throne”.
It was sculpted in honor of Al Gore for his deep, profound, and well-thought out theories of the world and putting them into practice for the betterment of all mankind.
The sculptor believes that Al finds the inspiration for his ideas while sitting on his toilet because, well, after all he’s very famous and much sought after, so the only place he can have some private time alone is while on the pot.
And yes, he does only use one square of toilet paper, why do you ask?

“The Slider”
Commissioned by White Castle to add some class to the brand. While most viewers assume the statue is made of bronze, it is actually made of aluminum and painted.

That’s the statue out front of the Al Bundy Museum. It represents the sum of action (deucer) plus location (the john) minus irritant (nagging wife) which equals satisfaction. More or less it represents a form of low-level humanistic spirituality.

Patterned after Rodin’s “The Thinker” we have Ecker’s “The Stinker” representing the consumption of a rather unspeakable amount of chili, nachos, and beer.

I was going for an Al Gore themed response myself.
Since you beat me to the punch I will bow before your brilliance! Well Done!

It’s called “Block of Ages”
It’s a simple block of rough-cut, unpolished granite which represents man’s imposition of order on his environment.
Unfortunately, though, some vandal left a statue of a crapping naked guy on top of it.
How gauche.

“The Crapper”, also known as Ivana Godoo DaBafoom’s unfortunate husand. It represents what happens when you marry someone who last name is DaBafoom. The whole world teases you, and you end up biting your knuckles off.

One thing not usually known is that it’s representing a man at the gates of Hell. So to represent it as indicative of the power and triumph of intellect is to…somewhat misrepresent what Rodin was getting at.

Barack Obama hatches yet another brilliant idea on how to prosecute the war on terror.

This piece is titled “The ThunderMugger”
It is an ode to an elite, albeit little known and highly underappreciated off shoot of the ThunderJournalist genre of internet addicts.
The complex arrangement of subject and comode suggests not deep thought, but the absence of any serious consideration what so ever as the ThunderMugger dumps turds onto the unseen heads of the liberals who reside in the world’s toilets.
The idiom suggested is “I came, I saw and I took a big steaming dump on your tinfoil hat you crummy moonbat”.
It’s a very important work of art.
