An alien gargoyle on a ancient Abbey? Cool story!
"Well it was brought to my attention by two well informed friends today that hidden away amongst the gargoyles on Paisley Abbey there is an Alien!, so I did a bit of recon, dropped by and went looking for it and sure enough it's there!.. Pretty strange seeing it on an ancient historic Abbey (William Wallace was educated there fact fans) its alleged a German stonemason did it in the 80s during a restoration and it went undiscovered for a few years and they decided to keep it.. Cool."

It would be awesome to be a professor taking students on a tour there, let one of them discover it themselves and when they ask WTF just stoneface them and tell them it has been there forever, even pull out all the punches and get someone to photoshop it into an old ass picture to show them after the fact :twisted:
