Anne Ross makes the point (with regards to one stone) "we must bear in mind that the choice of horns is likely to have been dictated by the space available for the addition of this feature, and those of a goat may only have been selected because they fitted easily into the overall design".

That has got to be rubbish (sorry Ms Ross)!

You can just imagine the scene at your local church - the grand unveiling ceremony - a statue of Christ crucified on a .....chair!

"Well we did not have room for him standing up and the cross was a bit wide so we thought a nice rocking chair would suit better, after all the cross or the appearance of christ is hardly central to our religion".

".....we did have some spare clay so we gave him breasts."

"It wasn't my idea,,,,honest"

"help!"
