When you kick for the first time a statue activated by kicking, the effect takes place. When you kick it a second time, you get a message about kicking at the air, as if the statue was no longer there, and yet the statue is shown.

Either the message should be changed to something like "You kick the statue, but nothing happens.", or the kick should remove the statue.

Probably the first would be better, because I think statues not activated by kicking also show the kicking at the air thing.
