A new statue of a guy with one arm has two arms:
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) โ The swashbuckling sea captain who helped found Americaโs first permanent English settlement lost his right arm in battle nearly two decades earlier โ but you wouldnโt know it to look at the two-armed statue on the campus of the university named for him. Some annoyed and angry alumni and history buffs want the monument to get the hook โ the prosthetic that Christopher Newport is believed to have used 400 years ago.
A picture of the statue is here, and it suggests strongly that Christopher Newport University should be renamed Captain Morgan University. Hat tip: IHE.
