If you can bring yourself to look up at the ghastly homolculous which has appeared on the column on the seafront you will see two eyes staring back at you. As the great man lost his right eye three years before he lost his right arm shouldn't the perpetrators of this monstrosity climb up and put an eye patch on in the interests of historical accuracy?

What was that word? "Homocu...." something or other, sound like something you find on the seashore

Sorry, my invective outran my spelling. The word is homunculus. It means "A little man; a dwarf; a manikin" according to the dictionary I looked at to check the spelling. Describes this little fellow rather well I'd say.
