Statue of William "Braveheart" Wallace unveiled.

On the day of the Scottish devolution refferendum, an statue of William Wallace (without Gromit) was unveiled in Scotland, just in time to remind anyone who was going to vote NO to feel patriotic.

[Mel Gibson, who really looks like he could do with a lie down.] Many people noted the statue's similarity to Mel Gibson, who played the part of William Wallace in the film Braveheart. We at the Hamster Times can exclusively reveal the reason for this similarity.

The Gibson's were happily rebuilding thier driveway, and after lots of loving work, they had a nice flat layer of cement ready to dry.
Unfortunately, he tripped over some of his tools and landed face down in cement. He managed to get out, but he saw that his handywork was ruined and bore the imprint of Mel Gibson in a screaming rage, as if he was about to fight the English again.

Word of this event got to some sculptors, who were planning to do the statue. They had a problem, since they had no idea what William Wallace looked like, since the invention of the camera was a few centuries away. They hurriedly rushed over to the Gibson's driveway with a truck load of plaster of paris. Casts were made of the imprint and at last they had a statue.
