More than 20 firefighters free exchange student from the artwork Chacán-Pi (Making Love) by Fernando de la Jara in TübingenIn the space of 24 hours last week, two spectacular rescue operations were carried out in southern Germany.
Both involved men who had become trapped deep inside cave-like structures, and a large team working to set them free. But if explorer Johann Westhauser is expected to soon tell the world how he got trapped inside Germany's deepest cave, an anonymous exchange student might prefer to keep quiet about the story of how he got into a tight spot.
On Friday afternoon, a young American in Tübingen had to be rescued by 22 firefighters after getting trapped inside a giant sculpture of a vagina. The Chacán-Pi (Making Love) artwork by the Peruvian artist Fernando de la Jara has been outside Tübingen University's institute for microbiology and virology since 2001 and had previously mainly attracted juvenile sniggers rather than adventurous explorers.
According to De la Jara, the 32-ton sculpture made out of red Veronese marble is meant to signify "the gateway to the world".

(154,021 posts)when people get stuck, soap, oil, or other lovely things are used to lube people so you can avoid cutting things like whatever they got stuck in. In this case the rescue tools would have a hard time with the stone, and ... well you would be destroying a sculpture.
And this is meant as a serious answer, even if it probably will not be taken that way.

(23,971 posts)...but it has certainly started my morning off with a laugh.
Why do I feel reasonably certain that no women would have tried this maneuver?
I do think that both the sculpture and the guy would went in to it are rather moronic.
