	The Colossus Got spare money?

Is anyone bothered by the fact that the Colossus isn't spreading his legs? There's a suitable bay right next to him. Just wondering.

quote: Let us first clear a misconception about the appearance of the Colossus. It has long been believed that the Colossus stood in front of the Mandraki harbor, one of many in the city of Rhodes, straddling its entrance. Given the height of the statue and the width of the harbor mouth, this picture is rather impossible than improbable. Moreover, the fallen Colossus would have blocked the harbor entrance. Recent studies suggest that it was erected either on the eastern promontory of the Mandraki harbor, or even further inland. Anyway, it did never straddle the harbor entrance.

Note that "modern reconstructions" and "older drawings" are links to pictures, though it's hard to tell because of the style sheet.... :banned:

Its an outrage.

Do you really think ships could have sailed between his legs?

Seriously there are more notorious problems in the game to worry about.

'Good news sire! The spreading legs of the Colossus makes the enemy armies vomit. Unfortenately, his giant testicles causes unhappiness among the heterosexual male side of the people.'
