Machine vs. Beast!

A few days ago these young Polish lads were seen having fun pushing this elaborate looking-motorcycle in the Old Town. They needed several guys to actually push it around the old square...as the engine didn't work. It couldn't go far...but it was still a real nice set of wheels. Here they are comparing it to Toruń's famous asinine scultpure...the legendary 'Toruń Donkey'!

Donkey Competition Results

Well, yesterday's competition certainely did keep you guessing. Thank you for all the wonderful comments and suggestions. Unfortuantely, this time though...looks as if Toruń Daily Photo managed to get you all well and truly stumped!

The donkey sculpture is a recreation of an old wooden medieval donkey that once stood in the same place as a means of punishing criminals. You will notice that there are straps on the donkey, which are attached to a metal rod along its back. Originally, this would have been extremely sharp. The prisoner would have been forced to sit down, tied to the donkey and then flogged. Serious cases, even had their legs weighed down so that they would have suffered maximum pain!

TORUŃ BY NIGHT: Donkey Competition

This is the latest addition to the main square of Toruń...a sculpture of a donkey!! It was unveiled only 3 days ago on Friday 12th October. But, what does it have to do with Toruń and why on earth is it here?

Please put your thinking caps on and send your answers in asap. The first correct answer will win an A4 colour glossy postcard of any past TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO image of their choice!

GOOD LUCK!
