This May 25, 2009 photograph shows a likeness of Brussel's most famous statue, Manneken Pis next to a paper face mask people wore to fend off swine flu. Created in 1619, Manneken Pis is among Brussels' most famous statues. Literally translated as "Little Man Piss," the statue stands only 2 feet tall. A state in eastern Mexico is to erect a statue to a small boy suspected as being the first patient of swine flu here, to be modeled on the famous Manneken Pis statue of a child urinating in Brussels. Five-year-old Edgar Hernandez appeared in media across the world after the health ministry in April confirmed that he had contracted, and overcome, the A(H1N1) virus at the start of the epidemic's outbreak here. Hernandez's role in putting his poor village of La Gloria on the map merited recognition in the shape of a small statue -- resembling the famous Belgian landmark -- Fidel Herrera Beltran, the governor of Veracruz state in eastern Mexico, told local media.
