Maybe gloves?
You've probably seen photos of the eight-ton lion sculptures that have been lowered into place at the newly renovated Utah Capitol.
The new lions, carved from Italian Carrara marble, are named Fortit
ude and Integrity. But after closely studying their toes, above, I'm thinking Integrity's name should be changed to Cartoony. The lions seem to have "Seinfeld"'s infamous "man hands."
A real lion's paw, left, looks a lot less like Goofy's, right.

should have had the hand out, just like those for sale inside>
My husband and I were discussing what a crummy sculpture it looked like. I mean, fingers on a lion?, did the sculptor even look at a picture of a real one? I think Utah needs to ask for its money back.
