At the University of Cincinnati, it is said McMicken Hall’s stone lions, Mick and Mack, roar when a virgin walks by. The urban legend is well-known enough to be documented on the Urban Legend Reference Page of Snopes.com.
Has anyone actually ever heard this roaring thing happen? Nope, which means young men who really want dates now know where to matriculate.
If you can't stand the thought of living in Ohio - residents of Pittsburgh, we mean you - there are similar virgin-sensing lions at the universities of Missouri and Michigan.
Mick and Mack are replicas of a famous pair of lions found in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, which was constructed in 1382. Mick is on the left. They think. No one seems to be sure because they faced inward in some pictures.
