People are thirsting over this unnervingly hot statue of shirtless Abe Lincoln

Good news everyone. Abe Lincoln is hot.

At least this statue of him is. A rock-hard Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States, graces the Los Angeles federal courthouse. The 8-foot-tall young Lincoln, shirtless as can be, gazes down at the viewer in pure, unadulterated horniness. In one hand he carries a book, while the other plays with his waistband, as if he's inviting you to both take off his pants and educate yourself on the intricacies of American democracy.

If an Abercrombie and Fitch model could read, it would be the Hot Abe statue.

And dare I ask, is that a bulge? Does Hot Abe have a discernible bulge?

When screenwriter Zack Stentz tweeted a photo of the statue, Twitter went wild.

Called "Young Lincoln," the statue was created by a 23-year-old James Lee Hansen who modeled the lanky Abe after his own sculpted body in 1941. According to the Washington Post, Hansen explained the unnerving hotness during the statue's unveiling: "Well, from a sculpturing standpoint, it's better to show the body without any clothes. That's why I left 'em off."

And Twitter thanks you for that, James. We really do.
