You can't throw a stick in Paris without hitting a Gothic Cathedral (which, by the way, they are totally touchy about, so if you can control yourself, don't throw a stick while in Paris), and at each cathedral, there is an array of gargoyles, which were, back in the day, used to direct rainwater away from the stone walls.
This is how they are done. They just sit there, doing nothing, now that most cathedrals have been equipped with gutters and downspouts.
In my new, improved version, gargoyles...
