Gads.. is that all there is?

I just may get into the fine art business.

From here:

A 76-year-old performance artist was arrested after attacking Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" _ a porcelain urinal _ with a hammer, police said.

Duchamp's 1917 piece _ an ordinary white, porcelain urinal that's been called one of the most influential works of modern art _ was slightly chipped in the attack at the Pompidou Center in Paris, the museum said Thursday. It was removed from the exhibit for repair.

They also say in the story that the urinal/art piece is worth $3,000,000.

Gads.. and here I just went and flushed down a masterpiece.

Better get back to work.
