As an interesting aside (I can be such a fckinug boor!), it's interesting to note that gargoyles, scuppers, so to speak, spewed water collected from the rain gutters of Gothic cathedrals.
One of the last of the stone mason's tasks, when the cathedral was nearing completion (the construction of which may have begun 100 or more years prior), was to sculpt the gargoyles. Legend has it that the stone masons were allowed to express their feelings torward their bosses by characterizing them as the evil, slave driving SOB's that they percieved them to be.
Ah, yes! The word "gargle" stems from the gargling sound of the rainwater pouring from the gargoyle's mouth!
O.K. That's all.
