If this isn't funny enough, there's a committee to select what he will wear at various times of the year. You can see above, he was au naturel.
In the City of Brussels museum, some 100 of his various costumes, which have been donated from around the world are displayed. The current count is over 700 for the little squirt.
This costume was featured...it's been donated by Harley Davidson. Real leather.
Cases and cases of his costumes... My favorite was a white Elvis one.
There's even a life-size chocolate statue of him in the corner of this shop.
The highlight of the museum visit was a continuous film of various people's reactions to seeing him for the first time. A nun commented, "He looks like an angel." Little girls and grown women giggled, a concerned young boy wanted to stop him before the basin overflowed.
Mostly, people seemed disappointed by his size - everywhere.
Very cool about the "little squirt" -- the world is filled with interesting tidbits like this and I can't wait to see them someday...at least some of them.
