1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo~!

The statue itself was given to the city of Chicago by Pablo Picasso in the 1960's. It stands in the Civic Center plaza, and as far as I can tell we still haven't figured out what it is. (Rumor has it, it's a woman.)

I could go on for a long time, so I'd better stop and give my hand a rest.
