I love monuments - especially odd ones. My hometown has Smokey the Bear and a Giant Thermometer. Blackduck has (you guessed it) a big black duck. Bemidji has Paul Bunyun, and I won't even get started on the number of fish monuments that there are in this country. One would expect that war heroes, town celebrities, or politicians of yore get monuments. However, this one really stumped me. I mean what is the reasoning behind this anyway?

That's right folks - if you clicked on the link, you are looking at a Monument to Benedict Arnold's injured foot at Saratoga National Historical Park.
Now, any war hereo's injured foot is one thing -- but come on - a traitor?!
