Okay, I am pretty sure that someone on the flist ([personal profile] tree_and_leaf? [profile] angevin2?) posted some incredibly scary pictures of statues of twentieth-century "saints", all weirdly toned and zombie-like -- "I am Martin Luther King, and I've come to eat your braaaains!" kind of thing. And I wanted to send the pictures to some friends, but now I can't find them.

Am I confused, and this was maybe on Ship of Fools instead?

If any of you remember posting such photos (or, in fact, seeing them), do let me know ...

I think it might have been those awful statues from the nave altar at St Albans, which are in this post:

They are... scary. How anyone manages to say mass when they've got to turn their back on those things baffles me (but I've probably just seen too much Doctor Who...)
