It being St. Patrick's Day in Ireland, I went a-looking for photos of the diminutive Manneken Pis dressed in his tweed finery (see Sam's post
here). Sadly, none has been posted yet, so I decided I would share some of the costumes the little Pis has worn throughout the years...
Here he is apparently peeing beer, dressed as St. Cristopher.

Too funny. Apparently he has his own song, a female counterpart named
Jeannenken Pis and a canine friend called
Zinneken who can be found peeing against a bollard somewhere in the city. Zinneken even has a parade held in his honour every couple of years. For a truly comprehensive guide to the outfits the good city of Brussels has chosen to decorate Manneken Pis with see

Anyone got a photo of the Pis in his tweeds?
Yep, here's a pic http://www.magdainlondon.com/index.php?entryid=587
