Manneken Pis, the famous statue of a peeing boy in the center of Brussels, stops pissing temporarily. Due to severe frost, the authorities closed the water supply of the statue, according to a spokesman for the tourism office in Brussels.

Manneken Pis is one of the tourist attractions of the capital of Belgium. It is still unclear how long the statue will be without the characteristic water. “That all depends on the weather. When temperatures rise again, it will be operated again,” said the spokeswoman for the tourist office.
