    Fun fact for your trivia banks:

    The difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque is easy to remember. A gargoyle is a decorated waterspout that projects from a roof and carries rainwater away from the walls of a building, protecting it from damage, whilst a grotesque is a decorative carving that has no functional architectural purpose.

      Nobody will understand if I tell them “that’s a nice grotesque”

        Maybe, but on the other hand, if someone went to the effort to commission and have a grotesque installed in their property, they might just know. Still, probably not though.

      That’s not quite right, because a gargoyle actually is a grotesque.

        Is that all I have to do to make it non amp - remove amp from the url? I looked if there was a direct share link on the site instead of copying the url, but it would only post to Twitter and Facebook.
