A quirky photo feature each week.

For eight long months, this UK dad James Coxall endured a colossal 1.2-meter-long, 0.9-meter-wide, and 10-centimeter-deep pothole plaguing his Cambridgeshire village. So he staged a hilarious "legs-first" protest, planting a pair of jean-wearing wooden legs right in the middle of the puddle. The result? Instant local fame, celeb-status for his kids, and...a fixed pothole!

The pothole prankster is already looking around for his next target. There are plenty of potholes in the village to choose from, he says. 

"Maybe I'll do something a bit different. I'll try Titanic sinking or something into it," he said. "That would be quite cool, wouldn't it?"
