How not to big up your monuments Posted Sunday, 21 May 2006 This plaque is on the side of the Patuxie - Vientaine's Arc de Triomphe.

Comments sandra ha ha ha ha ha! I love that "monster of concrete" description. Carl "even less impressive" is the clause that gets me.Ben, you copy-editing fiend; is nobody safe from your eagle eye?
