+> Today's catch is four places you laugh at before you learn the story. Two were built to be funny — an eight-metre roadside cockatoo, a bridge whose stone figures are all mid-squat — and two got there by accident: a Suzhou tower the whole country decided looks like a giant pair of trousers, and a lone bronze foot left standing where a champion's statue was stolen.
