<p>Do you want to know what you're actually touching?</p>
<p><strong>SPOILER ALERT</strong></p>
<p>People pee on the statue's feet. Have fun!</p>
<p>Yeah, and the janitors wash them off every morning before the tours start.</p>
<p>Still, I definitely wouldn't go anywhere near those things...yuck.</p>
<p>Well half the time you can still see the streaks. :p</p>
<p>That's so sad, at my Harvard tour I was specifically told to rub his feet =(</p>
<p>Heh, my dad took me to see the statue when I was like, 14. 4 years later when I learned what really happens to the statue, I winced.</p>
<p>When I toured with my younger daughter this summer, our tour guide specifically told us NOT to touch the feet and diplomatically hinted at the reason why.</p>
<p>we were told the exact same thing as coureur this summer</p>
<p>Yeah, perhaps Unofficial with their humor might convince people to touch the foot, but I know working with the admissions office tours we pretty much tell people they ought to avoid touching it.</p>
<p>Rubbed his feet when I was three: didn't get in =P</p>
<p>yup! I rubbed it last summer and I'll be there in a few days! oh well, I'll gladly take touching a "dirty" foot if it means 4 years at Harvard!</p>
<p>I licked it. Does that count?</p>
<p>And, does everybody know why it is the 'statue of three lies'?</p>
<p>figure is a student/ financial benefactor/ 1636</p>
