The enema is a symbol of Russia, make that the southern Russian city of Zheleznovodsk. Here they love enema's so much they made this monument to colonics for all the world to ridicule. Okay a bit about this grand cleaner...

The bronze syringe bulb, which weighs 800 pounds and is held by three angels, was unveiled at the Mashuk-Akva Term spa.

The monument cost $42,000 and was installed in a square in front of the spa on June 19th, 2008. A banner declaring: "Let's beat constipation and sloppiness with enemas" -- an allusion to a line from "The Twelve Chairs," a famous Soviet film comedy.

And on that note, I've got to go.
