1913: Copenhagen's 'Little Mermaid' statue is unveiled. as per the properly stringent FAQ's : "Any images with nudity are prohibited. Images in swimsuits or original war-era art are ok, as long as there is not any clear nudity. Always stay on the conservative side if you have any doubt. This forum is family safe." I have posted Vancouver's 'Girl in a Wet Suit' which conveys the concept similarly and appropriately...I have no doubt!
