    Fun fact time. They’re basically water drainage pipes, but fancy. They’re named gargoyles because it sounds like they’re gargling when water comes out of them.

      I think it’s actually because the root word for gargoyle (and gargle) translates literally to “throat”.

      They are essentially a decorative throat.
