Brussels is too cold for the Manneken-Pis to pee

We've all been there, you need to go to the loo, but it's so cold you physically can't. Well the Manneken-Pis -- the iconic statue of a urinating boy in Brussels -- knows your pain.

Officials in the Belgian city say they've been forced to turn off the peeing tourist attraction because it's currently too cold for him to continue urinating.

As sub-zero temperatures hit Brussels, bosses were apparently worried that freezing water could damage his internal mechanism and as such turned off the flow of water.

A spokesperson for the Brussels tourist office said that when the weather picks up he will once again piss for Belgium.
