- Fall asleep as we explore the funny (and rather boring) history of statues.
From prehistoric carvings to colossal rulers, public monuments, and men on horses, history is full of people who thought one lifetime was simply not enough exposure. Fortunately, the pigeons have always been there to restore perspective.
We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.
This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
