Overheard at the Lincoln Memorial

No statue in Washington, D.C. is allowed to be larger than the statue in the Capitol building, which is 19 ft. The Abraham Lincoln statue and all other statues around the area are 19ft. But if you're in Washington, D.C. and know the rules you can do anything. This statue is on a 16ft platform. The statue of dr Martin Luther king is 30 ft but that is not a statue, it is a sculpture because you can't see its feet.
