Number 10: Boll Weevil Monument.
So, let's kick things off with a very odd monument that you'll find in Enterprise, Alabama. These good people had the idea to make a statue in their town. Nothing wrong with that, right? Lots of towns do it. But, if you head to Enterprise and see what they made, you might be a little confused. For this monument isn't one of a great leader of their town, or a great figure of history. Oh no, this is something much different. This is a statue of a woman holding a Boll Weevil over her head.
Random? A little bit, but apparently, this actually has some significance to the town. Allow me to explain. In the year 1919, when the statue was born, Enterprise, Alabama was comprised of mostly farmers, and one of things that they had to deal with a lot was...Boll Weevils.
In fact, they dealt with them so much that they had to completely change their agricultural ways, and started planting and growing peanuts. Turns out, this was a good thing, as it brought a lot of wealth to the town. So they're honoring the Boll Weevil's for helping them change their ways. Including naming them in a statement on the statue:
“In profound appreciation of the Boll Weevil and what it has done as the herald of prosperity, this monument is erected by the citizens of Enterprise.”
Number 9: Carhenge.
When you think about legendary monuments that are across the world, you no doubt eventually come to the one and only Stonehenge. This monument is a wonder in and of itself, and you can't help but wonder how it got made. But, as the United States often does, they like to make their own versions of things, and so, they decided to make their own monument called Carhenge. No, this is not a joke.
It was built in the 1980's by a man who wanted to honor his father, who owned land in Alliance, Nebraska. Every car you see here is pretty much from the 1950's and 1960's, so in a way, it's a tribute to classic cars. But what is easily the most impressive thing about Carhenge is the logistics of it. For it's not called Carhenge because it "resembles" Stonehenge in some ways. It's called that because the creator went to extreme lengths to make sure that every single car used in the monument was perfectly placed to match Stonehenge. Seriously, it's a near perfect replica, the only real difference is one has stones, and one uses cars.
The monument is still out there in Nebraska, so don't be afraid to go and see it.
Number 8: Floralis Generica.
If you want to see a more natural monument, then you may want to head down to Buenos Aries, Argentina. For there, you will see a massive monument of a flower that is both very intricate, and a bit strange when you think about it.

First and foremost, it was the people of Buenos Aries that designed this flower monument, and then paid for it, and then it was "awarded" to them as a gift by the city. So that makes you wonder, "What other options were there for a monument in the city?"
But that's still not the strange part technically. For what's weird is that the flower monument actually opens and closes every single day. At its peak, its 170 feet tall, and outstretched it's 105 feet wide. That's a really big flower. Not to mention heavy, it's 18 tons, which is interesting since part of it is made of aluminum.
Either way though, this is one monument that will catch your eye, and likely make you scratch your head.
Number 7: Enema Monument.
No, I'm not joking about this monument either. This is indeed a statue built in honor of the medical practice known as an enema. If you don't know what that is...look it up on your own. I refuse to describe it to you here.
Anyway, you can find this...uh...unique monument in Russia, specifically Zheleznovodsk, in front of the Mashuk-Akva Term Spa. And if you're thinking (and hoping) that this is a very basic and simple statue, then I'm sorry, but it's not. For in fact, this monument is made of bronze, and weighs 800 pounds, as well as being over 5 feet tall.
So that begs the question, "Why does this thing exist?" Well, the key here is the location, which as I noted, is in front of a spa. A spa that just so happens to use enemas as a treatment for various health conditions that patients come in with. In fact, they actually have banners that say things like, “Let’s beat constipation and sloppiness with enemas.” …Because of course of it does.
