The German town of Tübingen is home to a rather unusual piece of art and after becoming entangled in it for a dare, an American student needed to be released by the town’s fire service.

Outside of the University of Tubingen is a very special piece of art. Made by Fernando de la Jara, it is called Pi-Chacán, which means ‘making love’ in Peruvian Indian and it is essentially a large marble vagina.

Faced with the statue, one young fella couldn’t resist and decided to climb inside on Friday. Unfortunately for the youngster, he got stuck.

The emergency services had to be called and five firetrucks and 22 firemen were on hand to ultimately free the trapped, and surely hugely embarrassed kid.

The good news is the boy, and the statue, escaped unhurt.
