Subject: RE: BS: British Art treasures burnt to ashes
Some years ago an artist canned his ... well, excrement, and sold them as works of art. The sterilisation process was not perfect, so occassionally a can explodes, vastly increasing the value of the remaining works of art - 'art de merde' I believe it is called.
He died shortly thereafter, and now the cans are worth more than their weight in gold...
