Here is another interesting fact:

The Space Window on the south aisle of the Cathedral contains a piece of lunar rock that was presented to the Cathedral by the astronauts of Appollo XI.

There are 721 boss stones in the Cathedral, 640 located on the nave level. (A boss is a projecting stone at the intersection of ribs, frequently elaborately carved.)
There are 110 gargoyles on the Cathedral. ( A gargoyle is a pierced or tunneled stone projecting from a gutter and intended to carry rain away from the wall and foundations. Usually carved into the image of a beast or ugly creature

I e-mailed the cathedral asking the questions:
IF this was real and where was he located.
here is the answer I got back within five minutes.

"He's on the east face of the northwest tower, rather high off the ground."

the smithsonian says there is also
A lawyer and a hippie on the building.
