I had that thing to serve water (or liquor, by means of a battery-powered little pump) on the table.
I think its name is in the lines of "child taking a pee" or something. I was about 8 or 9 at that time, so like 50 years ago... but I remember it quite perfectly.
Amazing thing if you are an Italian kid in the early 70's...

It's Manneken Pis (the little pissing man), the national symbol of Belgium. Legend has it, troops were marching into battle and their two year old lord, their nominal leader, was travelling with them. They hung him up in a basket in a tree overseeing the battlefield. At a point the young lord decided to take a piss, and it happend to be into the general direction of the enemy, a grave insult.

Great hooray and cheering, it boosted morale so much, the troops won the battle that had looked difficult and dire before. And the legend of Manneken Pis was born. A two year old insulting the enemy by symbolically pissing on them.

I do remember the name now... I didn't know the story behind it, though; nice to know now.

It's one of the funnier national legends, and Manneken Pis pissing into the white house fountain is... highly symbolic. Lo and behold, it worked again! The troops won the battle in a decisive victory.

Does it grow up to be a catbus?

It aspires to grow up to be a D11T.

Well, that's what I would aspire to if I were a baby caterpillar.

Not if Spain has anything to do with that. They may have something else on their minds.

I'm sorry if this would be too political. But today this (probally AI) cartoon is taking over the Belgian internet...View attachment 543392

We already have some, you gave them to us in 1963 and supplied the planes to drop them...
