Hey guys, I was going through Photoshop Phriday on the Somethingawful website when I came across the section called "Superbowl Surprises". It was REALLY funny, except one picture had me scratching my head thinking, where have I seen that before?

I could SWEAR I've seen that "underground" guy from some film or another, but I can't recall where. Does anyone know off-hand? Or was is it just some random element pulled from who knows where? I mean, trying to think of it's a reference to a film or they just maybe cobbled it from a "construction" type picture...
BTW, if you want to see the whole collection, just go to http://i.somethingawful.com/inserts/articlepics/photoshop/02-08-08-superbowl/djssniper.jpg (http://i.somethingawful.com/inserts/articlepics/photoshop/02-08-08-superbowl/djssniper.jpg)

Have you ever been to Bratislava? :teddyr:
I haunt the SomethingAwful site frequently and this guy struck me as familiar as well. I actually thought it was some WWI memorial! :question:
Turns out, after some digging, it's fairly prosaic....
Statue of manhole entry in Slovakia (http://www.sewerhistory.org/images/mhc/slovak_mhc26.jpg).
Found it on one of those "of course there had to be website for this!" sites - SewerHistory.Org (http://www.sewerhistory.org/)

Ah you kidding? I had to Google it (Bratislava) just find out where it was! (Although I did guess somewhere around Russia, so I wasn't too far off.)
It's a neat fact though, thanks for telling me about it.
